working through my regrets about this, my brain is snidely telling me I should have done that at the start and that I knew it.
.
Should have broken the original set, should have broken the brand new one - but there’s reasons. I mean I wish I hadn’t stripped one of the new posts and broken the handle off of one of the old ones, destroying one of twelve of each, one vintage and one new - but this is best in the end.
.
For the old ones there’s one little upside, the handles weren’t modular, they’re stuck to the strips. If one broke off (I mean later), it’s the whole strip. The other old strip I’m using is modular for that, and I have spare handles.
.
For the new ones, it would have been nice to have new gear, to not have thrown that money away for nothing, but it’s new crap too, irreparable if it breaks.
.
So these strips and handles are proper old and modular, it looks right at a glance - the posts aren’t, well six are old, but not from this or any 12 string, and they almost match the six new posts - I still have twelve matching old posts I want to install when I find six more good wheels with the oval bore, and I’ll keep looking for those.
