In any event why doncha try putting a touch of CA on the backcheck heads letting it soak in a little and then wetting the end/bottom of the backcheck with your favorite wetting solution, i.e., water/alcohol...water/Kline Universal Comparative Elixir :-) , etc. This should work for both capstan and backcheck dealies...............if it doesn't I didn't suggest it...if it does just send the royalty payments to Samples Used Car lot :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
