Ruth, Jon, Joe,

I have been using teflon for some time for all metal or wood interfaces with 
buckskin or felt.  I've never used grafight....:-)  That said, the noise I'm 
hearing really doesn't seem to be coming from there.  I will check it out, 
however.  I'll be delighted if that turns out to be what it is!  

Thanks for the input,

Dave Stahl
