Hey Frank- Great updates. I built a bench too. It's solid & square, but not as tall as yours. It sure helped when installing and aligning the capstan/flywheel in the bearings. -Bruce D. --- On Thu, 11/12/09, lsf5275@aol. com <lsf5275@aol. com> wrote:

The owner has ordered two sets of tapes. On one set will be the standard Mark II Strings, 8 choir, mixed brass and, I think, St. John's Wood organ. On the second set, I think he will opt for some less well known voices. Incidentally, I built that wooden frame to allow me to work standing up. I can lace frames, work on it, azimuth heads, set keys or test different components without having to stoop and peer into the cabinet. I can even play them while they are out of their cabinets. It also saves bench room and allows me to roll them from place to place in the shop In a message dated 11/12/2009 10:47:03 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, pocotron@yahoo. com writes: Nice job, Frank! What voices will be on the initial tape frame? It just dawned on me: we are truely part of an elite group. Just the mention of the number "35" will make our backs ache! -Bruce D.
