<DIV>Ditto to what Mike said, plus garfield treated blocks can turn
jumpy, and more than likely the original pins were jumpy. If one
replaces loose, jumpy pins with larger pins, one ends up with tight, jumpy
pins. Once jumpy, always jumpy. I've tried varnish in the hole,
talcum powder, reaming, and nothing seems to work. </DIV>
