I returned a set this week they were bad enough that 90% needed travel paper= . I recieved a set back & they were as bad. This is disapponting & a was= te of timeto  mount & then remove parts ughh</DIV> <DIV>  It's not just that problem but also the rep lever being pinned i= n a non perendicular fashion to the whippen body. Upon removing the defecti= ve set from the rails I put on a set of Renner USA parts . My Son onl= y traveled 3 Whippens in the bass & completed traveling the rest in about = an hour. Ther were'n treally many to do. He's slow & new to this job b= ut the visual difference of looking at straight parts  right after looking at the others was quite dramatic.</DIV> <DIV>  I like the factory parts when they are right but right now they = need a process that can drill straight holes & sumpin is askew.</DIV> <DIV>  Fortunately Renner USA has repaired the formely funky & non original jack angle I objected to & the new parts fit very well.</DIV> <DIV>  Just thought update this</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>   Dale Erwin</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
