The action is in decent shape, BUT-- not only are all the flanges made out of that old-type yellow-ish plastic, (except for the jack flanges) the damper "body" is all plastic! <SNIP> Terry Peterson Terry, Please take no offense, but Dampers don't have a "body". ---- flanges, levers, heads, wires, yes. I'm not meaning to be a curmudgeon here (That's Joe G.'s job <G>)and I've committed my share of malaprops I'm sure, but incorrect nomenclature is the seed of misunderstanding in my opinion. In this case we all know what part you were referring to, and certainly no harm has been done, but we get enough confusion from the clients --i.e. brass sounding panel ---- without one of us using incorrect nomenclature. Just my opinion. Tom Driscoll P.S. Have fun with all those plastic thingamajigs in the movement. Good thing the strikers are solid cloth! <G>
