headstock rebuild

Sure they do! Makes sense if you reside in OHIO! I believe the thread starter resides in WASHINGTON! That is quite a few more miles to pay shipping on. Pay attention to what Bill Mayo said.

Sand Paper Disk Removal

I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS, BUT, IF "HOT WATER" WORKS, I WOULD THINK A HEAT LAMP WOULD ALSO. IF PAPER IS KEPT DRY IT COULD PROBABLY BE REUSED.
