That's excellent. :drool: 

Go into the 'manual assembly' room and have a look over your left shoulder, you can see a good number of 91mm scales.  A whole load of them are in yellow (I'm pretty sure not Stayglow) so how come we almost never see yellow scales up for grabs?

I saw those yellow scales too but some do look like the 58mm scales towards the end.

Another oddity or question I have is on the "Final Inspection" tour, the table with the black shirt woman has a small "vise-like" device I am wondering what it is for.

I see it.  At first glance I though it could be used to give any loose scales a final squeeze, but looking again it's not padded or big enough. :think: 

If a tool has been peened a bit much and is tight, then clamping it in a vice and giving it a wiggle can improve the action.  Just a guess though. ???

My thoughts were , yes it is too small to be for the scales but maybe it is to lock onto a particular blade or tool and bend/adjust it so it closes properly? Maybe???? :think:

Oh yes, amongst many other little pieces I'd like to take home and play with!

In the shop, the display case full of SAKs seems to have some burgundy coloured scales too, which I've never seen   :think:

Great feature though - really enjoyed that Dunc, cheers  :tu:

I've only come across Yellow scales on eBay.

I have a Stayglow Classic that someone did an oddball scale swap on....both sides are plain, no Vic crest.

I really like all the blue scales....something I don't see much of locally except for the Cobalt Blue Classic SD.
