Chuck, It's raining freewheel tools. I'm not in the U.S.A.., I'm in Minnesota. The best offer I've had so far was from Ted Ernest, free, no postage. Nobody has stepped forward with an offer to pay me to take one...yet. I may also take up Stonich on his offer because he owes me lunch and he's a good person and I'd like to meet his machinist
Thanks again. There are so many generous people in the world.
