Great idea, Jerry but since I'm retired, worthless and
bone-idle, that sounds like a lot of work.  Maybe I'll just
stamp over it!  Perfect!  :-)

Take care - Elden

Hi Elden,
         Why not carefully braze the wrong number closed and
start over.
The brass is "engraving brass" and has some lead in it for
lubrication - I
don't know if this would be a problem when brazing.




Keep the revs up (or down)
