The quality comes and goes. For a while a few = years ago, you couldn't tell which knuckle the repetition would wind up= under, or whether the jack would point up or down (slight hyperbole here). = Then, for a couple of years the parts were just beautiful, or at least the o= nes we got were, requiring a reasonable amount of traveling. Recently, we ha= ve had trouble not only with the traveling again, for that matter the alignm= ent of all three centers, but also wildly varying friction (1-20 grams at th= e support flange). Application of a drop of methyl alcohol not only reduced = most of them, but evened them out some, but we still (obviously) did some re= pinning. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I like the design/function better than any others we have used, so we p= ut up with whatever problem is current.
