John, Thanks for the prompt reply! I only changed the drop to a scant 1/16th" below let-off, actually adjusting drop so that the rep contacts the drop screw the same time that the tender contacts the let-off button, so I'll go back and change the drop as you suggested. The springs were done on the weak side. But it still puzzles me. I would think that the flexing you speak of is not the cause, because let-off is done slowly, which would mean veritibly no flexing. I'm thinking that the shape of the knuckle might be the cause, or, as I mentioned earlier, bevelling the jack top on the hammer side. I would like to get at the symptom. --- vince mrykalo rpt ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you are not enjoying your work, you are not charging enough. -Vic Benvenuto ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
