John, I should send this privately, to avoid flames. But... I've had mutant (near the frame) dampers that wouldn't respond to standard regulation, where I finally solved the problem by bending the string. Just as we do in the up-and-down plane, but sideways. Right at the agraffe. Be sure to raise the damper first. Good luck.
