The new meaning of OT is:. On Telephone

I have to admit that, years ago,  before I gnu better, I did the wedge 
damper replacement bit.  Kind of a mute point, since most of the thyme that 
Haines is a heavy shelf in my room. (last set up about three years ago)

Should I ever get the urge to redo the dampers correctly, 'twould be nice 
to know the right stuff to use.
