    This constitutes Amendment No. 13 ("Amendment No. 13") to Schedule 13D filed
by  the  undersigned  on  March  18,  1995  (the  "Schedule  13D").   Except  as
specifically  amended by this  Amendment  No. 13, the Schedule  13D, as amended,
remains in full force and effect.  Defined  terms  herein shall have the meaning
specified in the Schedule 13D, except as otherwise provided herein.

         Item 3 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         The  aggregate  purchase  price of the 422,658  Shares of Common  Stock
owned by Steel  Partners II is  $2,475,693.  The Shares of Common Stock owned by
Steel Partners II were acquired with partnership funds.

         The  aggregate  purchase  price of the 105,024  Shares of Common  Stock
beneficially owned by Services is $845,164. Such Shares were acquired with funds
it  manages  for a foreign  investment  company  (the  "Fund").  Pursuant  to an
agreement  (the  "Management  Agreement")  with  the  Fund,  Services  has  been
appointed to manage,  on a  discretionary  basis,  certain of the Fund's assets,
which are  maintained in a brokerage  account in the Fund's name. The Management
Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time. Therefore,  pursuant to
Rule  13d-3(d)(1)(C),  the Fund may also be deemed the  beneficial  owner of the
Shares reported to be beneficially owned by Services.

         The aggregate purchase price of the 700 Shares of Common Stock owned by
Jack Howard is $5,600.  The Shares of Common  Stock  beneficially  owned by Jack
Howard were acquired with personal funds.

         Paragraphs (a) and (c) of Item 5 are amended to read as follows:

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a) The aggregate  percentage of Shares of Common Stock  reported owned
by each person named herein is based upon 2,642,326 Shares outstanding, which is
the  total  number of Shares of Common  Stock  outstanding  as  reported  in the
Company's  Proxy  Statement  for a Special  Meeting of  Stockholders  to be held
February 26, 1996.

As of the close of business on February 7, 1996:

         The  Committee  beneficially  owns  an  aggregate  of  527,682  Shares,
representing  19.97% of the  shares  outstanding,  of which  422,658  Shares are
beneficially owned by Steel Partners II, and 105,024 by Services.

         Steel  Partners II  beneficially  owns 422,658  Shares of Common Stock,
constituting  approximately  16.00%  of the  Shares  outstanding;  and  Services
beneficially owns 105,024 Shares, constituting approximately 3.97% of the Shares
outstanding. Mr. Howard may be
<PAGE>
deemed to beneficially own 700 shares of the Shares,  constituting approximately
 .03% of the  Shares  outstanding,  all of which are  owned by his wife,  Kathryn
Howard,  in trust for their children.  Collectively,  the Reporting  Persons own
528,382 Shares,  constituting approximately 19.997% of the Issuer's Common Stock
outstanding.  Mr.  Lichtenstein and Mr. Butler may be deemed to beneficially own
527,682 Shares,  representing  approximately 19.97% of the Issuer's Common Stock
outstanding,  by virtue of their  authority  to vote and  dispose of the 422,658
Shares owned by Steel  Partners II and the 105,024  Shares  managed by Services.
All of such Shares were acquired in open-market transactions.

         (c) Schedule A annexed  hereto lists all  transactions  in the Issuer's
Common Stock since the filing of the previous  amendment to this Schedule 13D by
the Reporting Persons.
