Jeff,
   Thanks for posting about the damper trimming. I would like to add one
more item to your list below.

 9. Turn the damper adjusting screw back down to the desired position. <G>
Sorry. I couldn't resist.

>In a nutshell; (2 or 3 hours depending on number.)
>1. Turn damper adjusting screw up. Until the dampers just start to lift.
>2. Loosen the screws of the dampers you are going to trim.
>3. Trim the dampers, one at a time, and return to damper-lever.
>4. When trimming complete. Finger tighten the damper screws.
>5. Check for twist and lift.
>6. Lightly tighten the screws with screwdriver.
>7. Re-check for even lift & twist.
>8. Final tightening (not too tight, just snug) & check again.
>
>                    ...and enjoy REALLY quiet damper lift.
