 Hi, Dave!

In addition to the fine advise and links offered so far, you might 
benefit from the workshops on two familiar company's web sites. They 
offer detailed pictorial versions of what's been described.

harponline:

www.harponline.de/index.php?page=ws_dia/ws01_dia/ws01_dia&lang_id=en_GB

and

Seydel:

www.seydel1847.de/epages/Seydel.sf/secE8U75WYb9gE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Seydel/Categories/Products/%22Accessories/parts%22/Tools/Workshop/Repair

Both offer excellent (albeit expensive) tool kits as well, but they 
aren't absolutely required given Vern's nice description of how to 
replace reeds with screws.

I would also underscore Kinya Pollard's excellent Harmonica Sessions 
series for which Suave Blues Man already cited a link. The whole series 
is well worth studying. Kinya also lists tools (with part numbers) that 
are available at micro-mark.

Besides Micro-Mark, two other great source of screws, taps, drill bits, 
etc., are

McMaster-Carr:

and Small Parts:

Have fun and let us know how you do!
