Posted 17 Mar 2013 8:35am where have all the Deckleys gone?

Thank you for that link to the interview. It revealed several clues to investigate: Bob Decam , Selmner Instruments, and the property transaction (bank foreclosure)in Bloomfield CT. The interview gave me the idea of tracking the property. I have my owner's manual with the address: 6 East Newberry Road, Bloomfield, Connecticut 06002 TEL (203) 243-8315 (disconnected for sure) but may prove valuable in archive searches. I just discovered that I never mailed in my warranty registration card! Like it would have done any good; nothing has broken! For some reason I though it was 1986 when I got my Deckley. Sales receipts found in the owner's manual date Deckley $872.50 on 12/23/81 & Castletone Industries $600( a deposit)on 1/4/82,( 26 Hunt Street, No.Quincy,MA 671-328-4020 ) Price on the cases $140-$170

I just checked out the Jerry Lynn video you posted...very cool use of the second string. I came up with a variation that also includes the first string. If I can figure out how to tab it, I'll send it along.

Thanks,

Ben
