jmue56 The OP only posted 14 times over a period of 6 days more than 13 years ago. I suppose if you get them active here again, then you'll be doing a good thing. Otherwise just consider that many others of us feel that dredging up old zombie threads is not a desirable way for a noob to introduce themselves to the forum.
Welcome to BF though. If you are really interested in an old Nishiki you might get active in the more recent posts of the
Classic & Vintage sub-forum and maybe express some interest knowing if any have clues about where you might find one.
