Thanks both, but you missed the point i was making - i was NOT referring to my initial request (that would be far to optimistic I now realise) but to the fact that as I said the section title says We update a few at a time and are attempting to do this nearly everyday' - clearly this is NOT the case. May have been at one time the intention, I am not doubting that. However it takes seconds to edit, and as it stands it creates an unrealistic expectation for now forum members, that in its turns does little for brand image. If you take the time to look you will see that last serial number reply was September 16, or approximately 24 days ago. As for photos, I did indeed post one in the introductions section (if thats the correct name) - I can see myself its maple as indeed the heading said, but it was more the date of manufacture and place of sale that interested me. Anyhow, appreciate everyone taking the time to help, thank you. Ps, is it me or does it take ages for everyone else to post on here, server appears extremely slow this side of the pond?
