I was thinking that finding the generator of the scrap would be hard, but finding dealers who might resell would be easier. There used to be a few businesses that sold industrial surplus and offcuts for re-use, but I can't find anything of the kind now. Admittedly I haven't looked in at least a decade. The world has changed a lot in the past few years. I expected non-local, but it looks like non-existent is the rule. Sorry for the bum steer, bob prohaska > >
