a. There are/were a great many different styles (fonts) of letters in 3/4 inch. Which font do you need? *

b. Was there ever a lower case set made for the type you have? as far as I can find out very few lower case sets were made to match certain type sets

c. Presuming there was a set. Start checking every Tandy re-seller around the world to see if they have them. No. I'm not joking. It took me over a year contacting Tandy re-sellers in Europe, Asia, Australia and US to find one set of 1/2 inch lower case**. They had it as NOS, on a dusty shelf

d. consider getting one of the Tandy Craftaids or books of designs and cut & carve the lower case letters - in fact do all the letters that way for consistency. 

e. if you think you're gonna use them often, consider getting them made. I went that way. I sent the lower case alphabet for a 3/4 inch type, with some repeat letters, to Le Prevo in England and they made me a sheet of the letters. I have to cut them out as blocks yet. They use a photo-etch system. I got the letters done as well as some designs for stamping. The lot cost me about £90. The letters are about 1/3 share of that

f. * & **  I bought the lower case set first then bought the more readily available upper case set
