Thanks Ken for your reply - I can easily obtain bottleneck type slides here where I live, so it's the rod I'm looking for.
Dusty, this is terrific news! I'll make the donation and send you a PM right away. 
If nobody has one, or is not interested in selling, the big question is: does anyone still make them? Amazon has some "no longer available" items but that's all I can find on the web. Any help hugely appreciated!
Hello Sandra, if you'd like, I can help with your photos. Please drop me a message so I can send you my email address to send them. The idea is that I'd resize them for you and email them back. All the best -
Mike.
