Hi Jim,
Having a wobbly wheel with a bent spoke, this thread is of particular  
interest to me.  This morning I called the Acme company's sales  
department, and their Model J-12 spoke straightener is in stock.   
After explaining that I heard of their product from an  
internationally recognized group of stationary engine collectors,  
they suggested that we could get their "volume discount" for an order  
of ten or more units.  Can I put you down for one?
