Experience with a few of them, yes. Tight balance rail holes (needs reaming,
easing won't do), tight flange bushings: seizing dampers levers, jacks,
wippen flanges, etc. Probably plating coming off the center pins causing it,
but I'm not sure about that. A bit of inconsistent tuning pin torque, but
they generally sound pretty good (quite bright).
Considerably more "extra work" than the naive new owner is ready to hear
about.
