Geee Harold - I'm _really_ impressed with this easy and cheap technique for
using cardboard mounts. I'm going to pass it on as soon as I can to the
people in our local stereo club.

Your idea makes my own mounting jig sound a bit redundant! (which can be
seen, along with the stereo mounts you mention at:

I am going to try out you technique, make up some photos and add a
description of it to the above Web page - if that's OK with you.
