Last year I bought a late 70s T S Isaac frame on ebay. I searched for Tim Isaac on the internet and eventually found some contact info for his current business in China (camera parts I think). I sent him an email and to my surprise he replied within about a half hour. He seemed very friendly and was able to tell me what all the numbers stamped in my frame set meant. It's a very nice frame too.
