My thanks to Al for his kind words.
The challenge now is to try to determine the cut-off point for the buttress thread. Rich, I have a Red Banner Long Case Home in fantastic condition which came with the original mandrel in the conversion box - obviously little used. It clearly has the 60 deg V thread. I have a brass mandrel Suitcase Home which I will check. Mike Tucker _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
