Re: serial number frustration

Wow, thanks for all this great info! My LJ top key has the angled arm, and the LJ bridge key has ears, but of a different shape. There are not metal tenons. I don't know all the lingo for all the parts (I just play the darn thing ;-), so I couldn't follow all of the descriptions in the threads given. Does anybody want pics? I could take them and send the to you. It's pretty beat up, but the wood itself looks good and dense with an even grain, whatever that's worth. And it seems heavier than my R13.

Just guessing by the age of the man who played it in college at Purdue, it would need to be in the 40's if he got it new.

Now I have another question. I don't have the money to get this thing the overhaul it needs, but I was thinking about calling my very cool repair guy and seeing if I take it apart and get it cleaned up and perhaps put new pads on it, if he would help me get it back together and adjust it etc. Some keys need to be bent and I'm not comfortable with that. I've always wanted to try this, so why not now?
Where can I get the pads? Can they be ordered as a set?

Thanks Again!!!
Dana
