<BR>Antares -
<BR>
<BR>First, thank you for taking the time to share your lubrication/friction results - it was fascinating to read the details and look at the different effects each step had.
<BR>
<BR>One question for you - you mention spraying the spring levers with McLube on the graphite - are you referring to the top of the repetition lever where the knuckle comes in contact with the lever?
<BR>
<BR>Also, wanted you to know that reading your post made me even more enthusiastic about attending the Stanwood class at this year's convention. I'm much newer in the business than many out there, and highly intrigued about the details of how all of the factors combine to make the instrument work it's best.
