Good memory Dale!
My solution to missing Cobalto jewels (at least two years ago) was to look in Michaels, my local arts & crafts store (thanks to Lou Deeter's suggestio n), and I found these not quite right but more than suitable replacements:

Dirt cheap, they came in a bag of of different colors and sizes. I bough t a few bags and gave away (here on the list) a few pair of blue and other colors.
I may still have a pair of blue - let me know if you can't find them loca lly.

Anywhere from slightly impossible to very impossible
(sorry I coiuldn't resist)
I think Ray Dobbins has figured out a pretty good alternate source...Ray?

I'm thinking of purchasing some Campy Cobalto calipers sans gems. Is it fea sible to think I may find the gems that are missing? Is there a source for
these?
Thanks all.
