<BR>flnges/pins/bushings always show some type of contamination, i.e., stains
<BR>from being "treated" or a darkish waxy appearance. I also have ran into
<BR>capstans that were verdigried but the capstan felt always show signs of some
<BR>waxy substance having been 'rubbed in/on them. In addition, on S&S at least
<BR>this problem kinda ebbs and waxes during different periods...perhaps as
<BR>philosphy of production/marketing mgrs changed????
<BR>Interesting problem huh?
