Supply 2000 Post Club Member Registered: 09/11/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Vancouver Island, BC, Canada	"Case in great condition for its age" I love it. A good looking corpse must be worth something, no??? Having said that, I'm sure someone could fix that plate. For about 12 times as much as that piano will ever be worth.... _________________________ Jurgen Goering Piano Forte Supply www.pianofortesupply.com
