Ric, The problem isn't that the jack has trouble returning but that it doesn't want to go through let-off. It's as if there were a chuck hole in the butt leather and you have to push hard to get beyond it. As I told Jim, for now it will have to remain a mystery ('cause I ain't goin' back 'til next tuning). Maybe we'll never know who won the election either. Tom Cole
