Welcome to the club!
 
Sometimes it takes Mica a while to do a records search but hang in there, you will get a response. Meanwhile everyone here likes to look at pictures of the instruments. If you post a few someone may notice something unique to your instrument and point it out to you. Lots of good info contained in the forums here, too.

Yes, welcome! You can make a copy of the photo, then open the file using “paint” or similar program and resize the photo.  Then upload the resized photo.  That’s how I do it.  If you have trouble you can email me the photo and I will resize and post for you.  :)
