To All,

In the Collector Forums , under The General Forum , there was a topic called “Corrections to Official Collectors Guide” . I have tried to locate it, because I wanted to keep my Collectors Guide current and up to date. I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I might be able to locate it? Thank You.

It's probably right under my nose. But what can you expect from someone who can't even post pictures?

bobo

Bob,

I did a search using "Corrections to Official" as the search words. The initial reply was that those words appeared in a thread that had a date of 7/05/07. When I clicked on that topic, the reply was "You have requested a topic that does not exist!"

Apparently it was removed by someone with the power to do that, but that someone will have to explain why.

Sandy

Sandy,

I went through the same process and received the same answer.

This in turn brings up another question: "How can a topic exist but NOT exist?"

Thank you for trying.

bobo

Yes it is deleted.

I was going to add a few more things to it and it is gone.

POOF!! Up in Smoke...

Hi Bob,

I printed a copy of the changes. Do you want me to send you a hard copy?

Judy

YES JUDY,

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

Just to be on the safe side, would you send it via email but NOT through the Collectors Forums?

THANK YOU -- THANK YOU -- THANK YOU.

I don't know what happened to it. I took the Forums offline and rebuilt the indecies which hadn't been done for a long time. But still got the same "You're trying to access... doesn't exist."

Strange.

And the last comment comes from the powers that be--folks, we are in deep doodoo!!

I transferred all the corrections and errors to a copy of the Collectors Guide as they were posted, so I have a hard copy, just not one that's typed up at this time.

When I find some spare time, I can go through that marked up book and create another post, perhaps in a month or so.

Really?????

Judy, maybe you can post you copy here? thankks,
Bob

Bob,

I pasted them in this reply so hope that helps.

Judy

thank you Judy
Bob

Judy,

And I also thank you.

bobo

Here are the two I mentioned in the "Top Ten On ebay".

1.looking at the variations shown on page 422 of the HL collector’s book. The picture in the upper left hand side is of the Umpqua 107, not the Yaquina 110.


2.On sheet 381 of the HL official Collectors guide the edition for the AB113 should read “open” not 4,000. ( The HL website has it "open" and Rich convinced HL to change the 4,000 production to "open")

Is this what you were looking for??

Corrections..

Paul,

That's it! Many thanks to everyone who posted.
