Post-A-Log chess recorder!! Help Please.

I am trying to find a site that still sells those "Post-A-Logs" because I still use them even with my computer storing games. I play on a CC team and use this product all the time, the trouble is I can't find them anymore. I am really wanting to find out where there are any being sold, if you know a place could you let me know? I would appreciate it a ton I really would. It's weird though, I knew the man that invented them Joe Viggiano and I would go to his house and buy the inserts and then I stopped playing for a few years and when I went back full time playing chess I tried to get some more inserts etc, and found out Joe had died. Well this was sad news because he was a really nice man. Well I then tried to contact his son George who the last address I had was in Florida so I wrote him a snail mail because I couldn't find an email or Facebook or any other way of getting in touch with him, well the snail mail came back un-answered because it said the address is not for that person. So now I have no idea how to get in touch with him. The even stranger thing is I can't find this product anywhere on the internet and that has blown my mind really, lol. So if you know anyplace or anyone that uses this product or knows someone else that does it would be awesome. My email is: blokey@comcast.net And my Facebook contact name is: Nalan Barry Lokey. Sorry to go on a bit, but thanks and have a great day, Barry

nlokey,
I have an old post a log from the USCF.Its not in the best shape and has like 8 game boards in it and not enough sticky pieces for more than a game or two,but your welcome to it if you want it.I have no use for it anymore,and/or you can add it in to boards purchased through blakes suggestion above.I used it 20-25 years ago when I played postal and before the internet chess.I'll send it free to you through my office in NYC or my home in Pa.Just let me know.No charge.Message me with your address and it wil be on its way!It will end up in the garbage one day anyway!

Joe

Wow

I just wanted to let everyone know just how much I appreciate the people that replied to my post on the forum. I have been playing here and have always enjoyed it and was planning on becoming a full paid member, after I tied my wife to something so she couldn't stab me, lol kidding I don't think she would.....??? maybe not. In any case I am really amazed at the great people I have met here through the games and now the forum, I think I will stick around and play some more. Thanks to everyone a ton, please have a great day, Nalan Barry Lokey (nlokey)

Thanks pawnpuncher for your reply I do appreciate it a bunch. No you link is not what I meant, just what I said is what I'm looking for, lol and I'm not being smart so, lol I knew the guy that invented the PAL but he has died so I can't find these things where they would be sold. Here is what they look like although it's not a good photo: https://www.google.com/search?q=Post-A-Log&sa=X&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&ei=1rJ7UbGhOO6n0AG2lICwBw&ved=0CFgQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=681#imgrc=C-fmdc1jPTYcxM%3A%3B3C8YLR-_EqfIGM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.westmichiganchess.com%252FPhotos%252Fpostalog.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.westmichiganchess.com%252Freports%252FReports%252FSawaskiRoadOfAnElectronicKnight1.aspx%3B449%3B416

I have a few but I need the inserts etc and they are not anywhere that I can locate, lol I am still looking for them but not worried to much anymore because I am assuming it's not really being sold too much if any, so I am trying to make my own. In any case thanks for your reply and have a nice day, nlokey
