Maybe someday...

Pictures of your Brunswick are MORE than adequate information !! Don't be shy on account of that.

I suppose I could post photos with what little information I was able to obtain through a couple of correspondences with R. Wakeman. It will likely be a "featured phonograph lite" post!

thanks,

Google's free photo editing software Picasa 3 (the current version, though they have a beta 4.1 also) allows you to resize photos to whatever specifications you need. I actually like their software and unless I have a lot of other editing to do, will use it before I bother with my Photoshop Elements software.

I don't know if there are any restrictions or limitations to using their software outside of the US, but here is the link that I have: http://picasa.google.com/

Hope that helps!

PS ~ One last thing... if you don't want to hassle with it yourself, you can always send me the picture you want resized and I can do it for you.

I haven't forgotten about your request from a couple months back, but I still haven't moved two ton Tessie somewhere I can get some decent pictures.

Waiting, waiting... Two ton Tessie, I love it!

Ah, reminds me of "Two-Ton Tessie O'Shea"(1913-1995), the Welsh-born music hall performer, gawd love 'er! She was born well in time to record 78rpm records, & got a Tony award as Best Supporting Actress for 1963's "The Girl Who Came To Supper". Nice reference, 'shane!
