You would also be guessing about the "Hills" part.
I'd still like to hear from anyone else who has this equipment or sees it for sale. I may have ruffled some feathers by suggesting a competition when all I meant was that there's zero chance I could spend any significant amount of time in Hilliard but I'd love to master the craft too, so my only solution is to get a set of my own. I really don't think the hobby would suffer by having two rebuilding sites (after Hawkeye goes by the wayside) to do our CRT servicing.
I spend a lot of time in Grand Rapids Michigan. We used to have a woodshop here (on 28th street) that was open to the public, sponsored by a lumber retailer, so that the retailer could sell more wood. Until some schmuck cut his fingers off and then the lawsuits and insurance industry put an end to it. I would caution Steve McVoy that his idea of having volunteers drop in and use such potentially lethal gear would require a pretty expensive insurance policy. Hope he's thought that through...
