Re: Shortages everywhere
Well, you tell me. There is the A-9318, the A-9326, and the A-9330 that all need to be plated. We both probably know that chrome is not the correct finish however you give me some guidance as to what you feel a Plating Shop will charge.

Re: Shortages everywhere
Used to be the repop gauges were a poor fit and bad seat
Is that different now ? I’ve been blessed with a stash of rechromed and nos nuts the last few years and likely need nothing more |

Re: Shortages everywhere
Closer to 10. Periodically they will trot out some whack job economist who claims "large bills" should be withdrawn from circulation, because reasons. It is to laugh, because anybody who has been in a grocery store sometime in this century knows a hundred will be vaporized almost instantly. If anything they could re-issue the $500 and $1000 notes so we'd have something that would spend.

Our Guy, Henry Ford, once came up with a plan that was pure genius to finance the TVA in the 1930s. Print "TVA" on the face of each bill that you use to pay for it and as they came into a govt agency, you destroy the bill rather than spend the bill. This will not allow the bill to swell the economy and still allow the project to be financed. Sadly, the govt didn't take his advice. Sadly again, There has never been a Govt in the history of the world that could resist the temptation to counterfeit it's own money Terry |

My point was based on the typical model a owners frugal nature..lay a 100 dollar invoice on him for chroming some trinkets and you better have a defibrillator ready with the paddles greased to stop him from dying in your shop. |

Re: Shortages everywhere
About three years ago, some of it was replaced with nos pieces, and lot of small parts , like top bow brackets, so smaller are cheaper to do , also if previous post does get the gas rings done , have them mask off the threads or may not fit into tank.Renickle the gas nuts should be cheaper than chrome if they are brass that takes plating well.Lot of the cost is prep work.

Re: Shortages everywhere
Nickel is problematic these days. Substantially all comes from Eastern Europe……
Platers not willing to quote prices today as most are 6 mos out on jobs. |

You just wrote my story. I bought the last of 2 68c frames from macs. The other one was damaged from them. Had to get interior from classtique. Have stuff done for it but haven’t really cracked at the project yet. Hopefully soon . Larry |

Re: Shortages everywhere
Who is this "we" Kemosabe? I'm just pointing out the obvious, larger denomination notes are necessary because the currency has been inflated so badly.
Quote:
Though curiously enough, not money? There is no longer any definition of the unit of account, and it even fluctuates. How would you feel if they redefined the acre? Your 40 acres are now only 35 acres? Wouldn't you feel justifiably outraged? Or the standard of measurement like the meter, or yard. We don't turn on the news and hear things like "The meter lost several millimeters in heavy trading against the yard yesterday." |

Re: Shortages everywhere
Why have pennies when the cost is allegedly higher to manufacture a penny?
