Z!, Terry, Another good person to talk to about current stuff at M&H is Jaime Marks. He's a major tech, and a heck-of-a nice fellow. As for the Aeolian versions, I've seen quite a few that were unstable. I believe they (Aeolian) used a much, uh, flimsier version of the plates. IMHO. I can't remember an Aeolian version M&H that didn't have other action and back-action problems, also. Of course, our climate eats 'em up... But we've had a few of those at the plant, too. Standard Aeolian.... you know. So.. "readily fixed"?? Ya, sure, you betcha. $$$$,USA,up front, pleeze! %^) No, really. Sure you can fix the stuff. I wasn't terrified by reverse-crowned boards, or anything. Just.... well... it's the economics, no? The current stuff is, of course, a whole different animal. Whew!
