    I have a question about the door hinges on the '55s. Mine are of course minus the doors at this point but they seem to be in good shape as far as not being sloppy. They have some kind of catch in...

    Thank you sir but I look at it more as simple economics - I don't have a lot of money. My Dad always said I had champagne taste and a beer budget!
