Blacking tops, lubricating tops, epoxying or CAing pins in, keeping lacquer off the pins, etc, meant that I had to abandon something I thought beneficial to performance to make it look like everyone thought it should. Now I epoxy pins in the natural colored cap, dry brush the slop down into the notches to get it out of the way, and spray a coat of semi gloss lacquer over the whole mess to even out the sheen. Works for me. Ron N
