hammer traveling...

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Terry,
Have you considered that when you removed the flanges those little bits of
traveling paper might have moved or fallen off? And of course you numbered
the flanges to the hammer assembly?
Any hammer assembly that is removes should be checked for travel.
