Hi Everyone: I last posted here two years ago about my Bennett 966 that I had collecting dust in a corner. It was pretty beat up after many moves and half hearted attempts at restoring it. But the enthusiasm I saw from the members here encouraged me to finally "RE" restore it.

I am still looking for a couple of items. I need the front glass and trim (no ad glass) and I need a proper aluminum globe ring.

My problem is that when I ordered my repro globe from the US, I got hit with a huge customs duty bill for the globe, so the globe cost me almost twice the listed price.! Can anyone lead me to a good Canadian dealer for these items or up front customs costs before ordering?? Awesome Site!

Thanks

I have some of the trim around the computer faces. I will check the condition of it tomorrow & get back with you. Do you need one side or both?

We're only 20 minutes from Sarnia across the Blue Water bridge.

We have a lot of our Canadian customers drive over and pick up the items they need. The 'allowed' purchase totals for a 'day trip' to the states usually cover the costs and stop my customers from getting hit for excessive taxes.

Later . . .
