Apologies is this turns up twice, just posted a long and boring post which seems to have disappeared into cyberspace. The link is to one of the few pieces I haven't already posted here. #1565 with old tapes, Mark II 3 violins.

The notches on the tapes over the capstan. What would cause that? I guess if the tapes were in continuous contact with the capstan they would wear through like that. --- In newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com, Mark Pring <markpringnz@...> wrote:

If the tapes were in contact why wouldn't they wear evenly? And why would some be notched and not others? My guess is that that it's due to a combination of concave rollers and the previous owner persistently holding the keys down for too long.

Oh and by the way congrats on Canada's win in the ice hockey, I wouldn't have thought there would be anybody sober there by now. --- In newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com, "ClayE" <ecclesreinson@...> wrote:

Mark: The extraordinary thing about the olympic hockey results: two bronze for Finland (M&W) two silver for USA two gold for Canada We were on the verge of a nervous breakdown last night. Quite a storybook ending. Both teams from Finland accepted their bronze medals graciously. Unfortunately the USA teams did not.

That's because we didn't get bronze medals. If we had, we would have been gracious in defeat. When we win silver, we can be petulant. Frank In a message dated 3/1/2010 10:54:04 A.M.

I shouldn't single out just the Americans. When Alex Bilodeau won the gold medal for the moguls ski, the camera showed the top three skiers with arms wrapped around each other; Bilodeau and Bryon Wilson (USA - Bronze) were smiling and waving, while Dale Begg-Smith (Australia - Silver)had the sourest expression ever, caught on national television. --- In newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com, "ClayE" <ecclesreinson@...> wrote:

Don't worry about it. If the game had gone the other way, you would have seen some full blown temper tantrums from our guys. --- In newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com, fdoddy@... wrote:

I love it when Rick gives us the inside Olympic perspective that no one else has. In a message dated 3/1/2010 1:51:21 P.M.

Yes, and our Prime Minister would have shut down Parliament for another 2 months so that we could all "recalibrate" our Canadian identities.2010-03-02 by lsf5275@aol.com
