Thanks for the ID.

As for the photo size: I don’t have PhotoShop on my current computer, only a picture viewer with limited tools. I can find out how to dilute the file size, but I don’t know how to cut down the number of pixels.

I don’t know whether the TN-software has an option for automatically adapting photo sizes to monitor sizes like my photo view has.

I am on Mac and the procedures are different. Also different from Photoshop, which I used on my older computers. It occurred to me, that I actually had done some resizing of avatars, and I then applied the same procedure. Maybe still a shade too large for you, but hopefully not as bad as in the first try.

Klaus,

On the Mac start the Terminal app, change to the appropriate directory and type in the following command.

sips -Z 200x300 -s format jpg ./filename2.jpg --out ./filename2.jpg

Note - 200x300 is the output size in pixels -- Height X Width of the photo or what ever size you want.
jpg is the image format.
filename1 is the original file
filename2 in the resized copy.

You can get more information inside Terminal by typing man sips

Pan American stencil of a Conn 14K. All in favor...?

A few of the "Cavalier" Conn-made 14K-looking sousaphones that I've encountered actually had a smaller bore size in the valveset. Matt Walters, I seem to recall, has this bore size committed to memory...' *not* the typical 47/64ths inch bore, but rather something like...maybe...??...something like 45/64ths inch...closer to the Mirafone 184 bore size, maybe...??

Yes, some did. But most were like the Pan Am or 14K, including the one I played, the usual @.734 standard block.
