Kim,

Loved your story. Glad you found a replacement.

I wonder if your "friend" wouldn't mind posting his contact and some info here for those of us who plan to write this down and catalouge it but will likely forget.

He will likely find a welcome reception here from the members and perhaps some busineess.

Thanks for posting this. Given my current propensity to ruin stuff, I will likely need a new top soon. Hence my concern that when the day comes, I won't have any recollection of this thread.
