Where the keys have dangled for her 37 years is rather bare. Has anyone some clues?

There's at least one, possibly several, places that offer this service that have historically advertised in the RROC-US magazine, The Flying Lady. I can look those up if you're interested. I'm presuming you might want to check "close to home" first, that's why I ask your location.

They looked correct and I nearly bought one for a Mk VI. I think it was one of the larger spares suppliers there. Not proper but so much easier. Just a thought.

I am in Canberra and I don't mind sending the face away.

He may be able to help with advice on where to go to get this work done.   Brian Vogel Grand Master Username: guyslp Post Number: 703 Registered: 6-2009 Posted on Thursday, 09 January, 2014 - 02:49:    Wayne, Got your PM but thought I'd post a response here in hopes of keeping the thread going. There have got to be places (even if it's a handful) across the globe that do this sort of thing. The company I'd remembered is The Frawley Company in Parkesburg, PA. The information conflicts in their print ads (where they limit themselves to pre-1976) and their website. In any event, if they don't do the work for your specific item it's very likely they can direct you to someone that does. Brian
