Yes, that's what finally kicked me into high gear 
to find, uh, one of them and get it working.? I suspect he was contacted by 
the production company but didn't respond because he's too busy trying to get 
settled in and back to full operations again.? And he did the most 
wonderful job on my 2600 last year!

I'm sure you've seen Phil 
  Cirocco's restored Novachord.? He showed it to me and played it for me 
  before he moved to Georgia.

    could get it looking good enough to pose for some pretty pictures.

    approved the photographs for use. They sent releases for my photographer and
