If you want floppy disk plastic, I have stacks of them which are no longer useful for their original purpose... it depends if you need the actual disc material (a very floppy plastic indeed), or the case plastic - in which case I need to know if you're looking for 5 1/4" case,, or 3 1/2" case - the former is floppier than the latter. |

Hi Simon, for your leather there is a good shop in Newcastle called Le Prevo , its on the net but located just off the bottom end of Wesgate road beside where the Kard bar is or was. They sell all types of leather and leaherworking tools, buckles ruvets etc etc. They normally have a scrap bin with small bits of various leathers too. Worth a look anyway for future projects anyway. Cheers Mick |

Cheers Mick --- End quote --- Damn, that's been there this whole time? There's been more than a few times i've needed leather, but had a hard time sourcing any. I've even been to that area quite a few times, but looking at the map the place seems to be well hidden down a cobblestone alley. |

I've been away for my usual month and the never ending difficulties with disablement both wife and self but I did get my copy of Ferries Tools inc catalogue down . Mine is 2000 and came from a lassie at the Newcastle CAT who lives up your way. Any way, it has an accordian tool section for reference and the up to date stuff is on the net. It should give you ideas. Local shop is Windcraft in Cambridge Worth a Google for both. Cheers Norman |

Had a busy day today. Got some beeswax and rosin. I held off going to the leather place since the lady in the music shop suggested contacting a guy who repairs accordions in Gateshead. I looked the guy up when I got home and it seems like he does it from his house, and i'm a little hesitant to contact him asking if he knows where to buy reed valves. And I got thinking that it'd probably be fine just to go with leather. Anyways turns out the leather place closes about right now, and isn't open on the weekends. So alas... In the meantime i'm trying to dry the bellows, got a fan pointed at them, and i'll probably try de-moulding and re-gluing the bass side. I don't want to touch the reeds yet, since i'm planning to do them one block at a time (so I can get them back in the right place more easily). I should also take it easy because all the dust, spores, and fumes are killing my chest. |
