Amen Israel,
                    The magic bullet is just not there.    Today I started a 
grand regulation by adjusting the rep springs.  Darn they were kicking like 
a mule, to the point that checking in some areas was impossible. I also 
roughed in the checks.
Ops the book tells me that is supposed to be done last.

Regards Roger
