Already have a Board SG, and just so I'm not totally wasting my time, I set it up this morning to see if all the pieces were accounted for and their condition... I discovered that the Black King and one of his Pawns had loose felt on their bases and had lost their weights... Also, one of the White Bishops had his Mitre snapped off! There was a very convenient hole down the Bishop's center in which I inserted an 1/8" wooden dowel to strengthen and stabilize it for gluing... And $0.70 cents worth of change fit perfectly into the bottoms of the King and Pawn... I could have run to the hardware for washers, but using coins is cheaper! Here it is after gluing, everything is all better...
