André and others, Keep your tuning lever at 10:00 position and they are tunable, more or less. S&S uprights do not have plate bushing to help support the tuning pin. The further the bottom of the coil is from the support of the pin block the more flag polling will occur. Keeping you tuning hammer as close as possible to the 10:00 position helps counteract this tendency. Newton
