Sorry to have let this one lie... grin.. other er... issues seem
to have taken control of the universe for a moment there... all
is back in order now... me hopes anyways..

In anycase.. I agree that many seem (myself included) to shrug
away from regulateing damper spoons.. probably cus the darn
things are hidden from view when doing this, as is usual (and
neccessary ??) with the action installed. I questioned neccessary
because I seem to remember seeing something about a jig and
accompanying procedure for doing this job on the bench... anyone
remember anything about this.. or know about it ??
