I am saddened and shocked by the news of Bob's passing.  He was always generous with his knowledge and sharing his collection.  It was an OTAPS highlight whenever he and Karen opened their home to the club.  My thoughts and prayers go to his family.  He will be missed.  Jerry Blais _

This sounds like a story from my life... I had a machine completed, everything was in place, when I noticed the smallest amount of rust on a tiny irreplaceable part of a reproducer. So, in my OCD state of mind, I removed it and proceeded to use a rotary steel brush to clean it - then whoosh the

Jim's advice is excellent, and a good reminder. If the crack in the slab is too narrow to get the magnet close enough, put the magnet on a sliver of steel (not stainless), and use the sliver as a magnetic extension. A rare earth magnet will improve your chances. Andrew Baron On Sep 19, 2012,

How deep is the crack? I would try running a magnet over it. You can get a telescoping pointer thingy with a magnet on the end of it at a good hardware store. It is made for picking up small metal parts. John Robles On Sep 19, 2012, at 8:03 AM, David Barnett wrote: > It was like a scene fro
