Hey Ted, how are the wheels?
As for archive searches, you have to enter multiple word searches, as follows inside (but not including) the following brackets ["confente" and "production"]. In this fashion of using the quotes around each word, connected by the and, you are telling the system to find posts simply containing both keywords, but no necessarily in any order. If you type it in as [confente production], then the system is being told to look for that exact phrase. This adjustment obviously makes a HUGE difference in potential results, and will significantly reduce the excess results of a [confente] only search. Again, I used the brackets[ ] only because the quote symbols are part of the actual search ... the brackets are for my email only. Just thought I'd pass that on.

Now before anyone sends me a bunch of off-list email telling me to go look in the archives, I did just that. I typed in "Confente Production" and got zero posts. I typed in "Confente" and 1,500 posts came up. I have A.D.D. and there is no way I can sort through all of that material for my simple questions to you seasoned Masi experts,so here they are:
Since the topic of Confente has come up lately I was wondering if anyone knows: 1.) What was the total production run on these frames? 25?, 75?, 500? more? Unknown? 2.) Was Mario Confente directly involved in the making of EVERY Confente frame? 3.) Were ALL Confente's made in Italy? Or did Mario set up shop in California and make some here as well?
As you can see by the content herein I am totally clueless about Confentes.
I'm into this time change though.....
