Jim,

I'm not sure what hours the TCA meet will be open when we transition back to a two day format.  If Saturday continues to be a short day, perhaps having our meeting after the show would be fun.  New acquisitions could be part of the "Show-N-Tell", and we would not feel rushed to finish as we do now.  However, if both Friday and Saturday are full days (9a-5p) we may want to switch to a Friday night dinner meeting.  Most people seem anxious to "hit the road" after the meet is over.

I got a question.

I thought the super motor has the brush tubes.

Hennings . refers to the barrel type as super.

And Jim . Hennings. Has the parts for barrel. Brushplates.

Mike Wolfe must have the tooling. To make the complete brushplate.

Couple of different styles over the years. I’m sure Hennings has parts for all types. I’ve been using bild a loco motors from MTH. Brand new units. They have the flare plate commutator. 

Mike says he owns all the SG tooling but makes everything in China. Min quantity for new traditional motors : 10,000
