Q: I just received a very pretty heavy bowl. I don’t know if it is glass or crystal but I noticed it had several chips around the edges. Do you know of anyone who can sand out these chips? Thank you in advance for whatever help you can give me. — Agnes Verska, email

Q: I have two cassette tapes that have become unattached from the spooling. Is there anywhere I might have them repaired, and would that establishment be able to copy them to CD format? Thank you for your assistance. — William J. Prudner, Kennesaw
