Months and months of tinkering have come to an end!

This Wheatstone belongs to a longtime buddy. It is number 4050 made in 1852. I made new bellows and valves. I filed several new reeds from clock springs and small hacksaw blades. Mr. Snope from the Squeezebox Garage provided 2 missing reed shoes!  It all works! I also made a new box for it. I delivered it last Saturday morning after one of our weekly tune sessions.
