Well, petite wetlander.... it could be a climate thing, out here, but even 
the older Kimballs I've serviced just seemed like they were "far from 
stellar" when they were in good shape. And... considering that a LOT of 
nice old uprights have survived quite well out here (no rust), I still have 
to keep the kimbolas in the bottom ten. Okay.... maybe fifteen... but... well.
