<html> <body> Hi Dave,              Sorry about the slowness in replying.   I ream them out to #21 with Mannino reamers, it cuts all the garbage out, and have had no recalls to my knowledge.

But first contact the dealer, he may be able to help. The principal problem is graphite that has been applied too thick. There was a plating issue, but not that recent. The graphite has now been dropped from all Samick action parts.  Products that have all Renner parts will have a light coat of graphite on the cloth. I would respectfully suggest, that you not refer to the instrument as a PSO, if you are looking for max cooperation. </blockquote> Roger, Thanks for the input.  Apologies for the PSO remark....  biting the hand that feeds one is never a good idea! I have dealt with Robert before, and I have a call in to him about this problem.  He has been very helpful and has been quite prompt about sending parts out quickly.    </blockquote> </blockquote></body> </html>
