I also have ran into capstans that were verdigried but the capstan felt always show signs of some waxy substance having been 'rubbed in/on them. In addition, on S&S at least this problem kinda ebbs and waxes during different periods...perhaps as philosphy of production/marketing mgrs changed???? Interesting problem huh? Jim Bryant (FL)
