Ran into my first loose jack tender today, on a 1969 S&S M.  The note =
blocked on my first run-through, and adjusting letoff didn't help.  Sure =
enough, the tender pulled right out of its little mortise and tenon =
joint (along with two others in the high treble that weren't blocking =
yet). =20

I CA'd them (protecting the action center with pieces of business cards, =
as per the PTG's Field Guide), but it made me wonder: why are those =
jacks made in two pieces to begin with?  Is it just so they can fail in =
a repairable way if regulation is off (too much aftertouch)?
