<DIV>In the tireless pursuit of new technical horizons, I hereby personall=

volunteer to research the Wild Turkey effect on action centers (not to men=

<DIV>Seriously, folks, Dale Erwin's earlier message about replacing parts =
is
the only permanent solution in my experience. No matter what chemical you =
use
to wash out and lube the bushings, the mutton tallow is deeply soaked into=
the
wood of the flanges, and will begin to creep out. Soon enough, your center=
s
are tight again. As a quick, temporary fix, use anything you like best. Bu=
t
prepare yourself and your client for eventual parts replacement.</DIV>

<DIV>I agree with this assessment. It has been my experience that by the tim=
e
the verdigris is a problem, the knuckles and centers are also to the point o=
f
needing some serious work. By the time you repin, rebush, and/or replace
knuckles, you might as well replace the parts. </DIV>

<DIV>As far as meeting at the bar, with as busy as we are, can we set a time=
right now, and make it a priority investigative session? After all, this is
vital research for the greater good. </DIV>
