James thanks for the information. For the most I am rebuilding/building this one. Cost wise, I am having to keep it as under control as I can. The rub is this is the tool that i make a good bit of my busines from. Okay, what do I make? Chromatic harmoinica parts (custom combs, mouthpieces, and such), parts for the no longer made and Hohner pitched the tooling for them in 1985, Harmonettas (Google it, they are really nice pieces of kit, and Yes I am the Mike/Michael that makes the gaskets for them), repair parts and upgrades for Bass/Chord Harmonicas. Parts for concertinas.

This way folks can understand what the accuracy issues are. Right now doingsome rework after listeningto you folks and thanks. Beofre the bearings went I was getting mouthpieces, covers and combs out of the mill without a huge amount of waste (was still making profit). The kicker is that the biggest feastival for harmonicas is the end of the month and I have order from my US distro and clients. I won't take orders if I can't supply product directly (ask a serious harmonica player about Henderson harmonicas,wear earpplugs). So I move forward as able and thank the Lord funds are coming together to do a sort of rebuild (less of the original then new) That should do the job a whole lot better and keep doing it longer then I will need it to (meaning that it will pay for the next one to be built).

Once this is all done and past I will put up potho's of some of the different parts that I make.

Again folks thanks for all suggestions and hope you are doing well. Oh, one bright point the anaerobic antibotics they finally put me on to clear up a long standing post op infection are doingthe job and I am getting a lot of energy and focus back so give praise where there is reason.

Michael
