My sympathies to you; I'm sorry to hear of neuropathy interfering with any music-making, being familiar with some of its ravages, as I can testify.

Good luck finding a way to keep going.

Hi Rod

I am definitely interested in your 35 button Wheatstone. 

Do you have any more pictures? You say that it will play ok and is in tune, is anything else I should know about it?  How would you like to proceed, do you accept payment by PayPal? 
Thank you for your prompt reply 

best regards 

Jerry
