<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Every Petrof I have ever know has been a thing unto itself as it were. If there is anything predictable about them, its that technicians can count on making good money improving a mulitude of variant action and other problems. I have seen probably a thousand Petrofs over the last 20 years. All of them had some similiar types of problems, and all of them had an all around pretty nice sound. Petrof bushings, if anything, are usually kind of mushy. They use soft action felt for virtually everything.
