[CW] MAC Key

[Joe V31JP]

I have a TAC, also in Texas and did not realize the rod was 1/4". On a 
Vibroplex, I use a #18 (.1695) drill and for the Mac Elroy,
it is a #10 (.1935") drill for the rod hole.  I will have to add some 
7/8" brass rod to my next order. I have one Mac to restore,
but my other one just needs polishing and feet, when I bring it back, 
hopefully in April with my TAC and a lot of other key parts.
