Also the wires</div> <div>kept turning because they weren't held tight enough by the threading, so I</div> <div>installed sockets and installed new felt with hot hide glue.</div> <div><br></div> <div>It looks like when I'll do a follow-up timing re-set (after settling) I'll pull them all</div> <div>again along with the tray and install assist springs, the wire arrived a few weeks</div> <div>after this job was done. It'll be a non-standard spring configuration so I'll have to</div> <div>fabricate them.</div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div><br> Regards,<br> <br> Jon Page</div> </body> </html>
