Ron Sitko should have them. In fact, I think I remember seeing them last weekend at his booth at Union.

Really? I never had a problem with it...
Hey, when you got a quality car like a Dodge Dart, every little flaw is magnified a thousand times; IOW, just about what it cost in $$ :)

BTW, d'ja notice that Chrysler is reviving the Dart badge next model year? Gotta get in line for that one. On second thought, it's gotta be better than the old one!

You can condition leather, and possibly leather like products, with generic hand lotion.

GoJo or Fast Orange hand cleaner (without pumice) also works well to clean wood phono cases that you don't need to strip or re-finish. It cleans all of the old crud off with no adverse effects...
