NOLAN:
You might try Hal Rodgers (H.D. Rodgers & Sons, I believe) in Bossier
City, LA. Sorry I don't have his number with me now, but I've bought
NOS items from him recently-he is very helpful and dependable. Shipped
my items same day as ordered. Hal is also on this list, so he may see
this post as well and contact you via e-mail. Good Luck!
(P.S. I have no interest, financial or otherwise, in H.D. Rodgers &
Sons, etc. etc.)
(P.S.S. Hi Hal, if you're out there today.)
