Interesting shaped dot between Victoria and Melbourne, wonder if this will be consistent. Be nice if it is, they have a big "I'm a Fake" sign on them. Signing off for the night. darge.

Basil Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 05/15/2013 07:42 am I saw on a TV show the other week as regards a restored NCR cash register that the reason they put a marble facade under the keys was so the shopkeeper could test the ring tone of coins to ID slugs.
