Hi John, We sure did speak. You were going to email me a copy of an Edison Lid Label, let Us Not Forget. I met and conversed with you in the past. I was working with Stan Stanford and Jerry Blais. Congrats on your Monarch. It's a nice machine I had a great time. Harvey P. Kravitz

I was selling with Mike Sorter at the table to his right. We have been doing the show together for something like 8 or 9 years. I think you introduced yourself, did you not? Sorry to be so vague, I met a LOT of people at the show!

I bought some parts and picked up a couple of machines. I did get that really cool Busy Bee Columbia Q client machine from Mike Sorter. It's an excellent machine at a good price. Thanks Mike. I really enjoyed the banquet and presentation. I've been involved wirh CAPS since 2002, and each year is always better than the previous year. Harvey P.

I do art restoration for a living so I can do the work-but it would take a ton to bring it back. The leather was in good shape-but I don't have to have that. I just got a Amberola V with matching cabinet in mahogany from a client-I am not sure that I need 2 though my other is in oak. The pinstriping and paint is about the same on both80-85% but the mahogany needs to be redone as it has crazed to about 60 grit sandpaper. It my take a while but I can let you know what I am going to do after I restore the mahogany case and cabinet.
