Lisi, you are in jolly Olde England, where the populous expects to have
to go to a specialty supplier for such.
But lets put this in the Paraguay context from long distance crystal ball
gazing.
As an old Iowa farm kid, if the Monkey-Ward or Snears & Row-it-back
catalog didn't have it, and you had already checked the local hardware
store, you did without, but I'd suspect his local hardware store in
Paraguay would be at least as well stocked as our small town (pop 270)
hardware store was in the 1950's era. I don't recall ever going in it
and coming out without a workable solution for whatever this guy, who
was a "geek" before the word was invented, was making at the moment.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
