Well, good news. The new dashboard script arrived. My old one has had all the gold and silver plating polished off of it. I looked into getting the old one replated. It was going to cost $200 to $300. I found out a guy in Switzerland made a few new ones. It's solid brass just like the original, looks real nice. For a little over $100 bucks, I'll take it.
I like the patina of the old one. I'll probably put it on my office wall or something.
This thread will probably go dark for a while. I go under the knife Friday for back surgery and will be out of commission for a while.
