Bradley, Fixing the problem entails finding where the leverage differs. Individual variances are most often in the most highly levered places, like the knuckle, where very small variations in either height or placement can affect the leverage significantly. I suppose the capstan could be out of line, but that is less common. Irregularities at the repetition support flange, such as machining differences or excessive traveling papers can change the spread. Did you get my earlier message about scooting hammer flanges? >>In some cases, though, it isn't the knuckle that's misplaced - it's that the flange has been placed carelessly on the screw, especially on non-shaped-rail types. It can be as simple as moving the flange a little under the screw. There's often plenty of room in the screw hole. This may disturb the in/out line of the hammer, but you can decide at that point whether to correct or ignore that.<< Isaac also mentioned papering shank flanges forward/backward slightly.
