<DIV> Wow it seems as thought the S&S whippens have quite a few
problems lately. I sent a set back last week & have discontinued using t=
hem
until they get there pinning straight So traveling doesn't take all
day. Also just today I'm finding sloppy pinning in the repetition lever=
& jack pins. I've had good success with the parts till present but =
am
currently very unhappy to find this shoddy a workmanship in parts that cost
$930.00 plus shipping.</DIV>
<DIV> Please take the time to let the problem be known to Kent Webb as=
he's trying to rectify the problems.</DIV>
<DIV> Thanks</DIV>
