NAMM 2004A few photos from the show, from a repair point of view.Here is Curtis setting up the display area, unloading the cage (crate) etc. and getting everything looking just right. Larry and I helped, but we are camera shy.
 
 Tom Hut of Hut's Music, who bought the complete Z60/61E dent machine off the floor back in 2001, and Tom Henson (Ferree's Class of '61) of Henson's Music Center in Oxnard, CA were both back this year. In fact, Mr. Hut was FIRST to our booth this year, he even beat me there or you would see his picture. I was glad to see them both. I missed Phil Pike, he "reserved" the complete Z60/61E in 2002.
