Thanks for the post Stan. The problem for dampers was very
definately guide rail bushings being too tight. I eased them
and ther fine now but .... for how long. It was really tough
to get the easing tool between the wire and the bushing. I
had to use pliers to extract once I pushed it in and
attempting to pull it out took the Steel tool right out of
the wood handle!
