Mitch,

I haven't followed your problems and the debate
around it, so I'll probably just repeat what others
have said, if I was going to try to advice.

You wrote:

I do agree about this - it IS hard to describe to people
and to us technicians. The adjustment-work in the action
is done in so many steps and at so many points, all dependent
on each other, and it's not, even for an experienced tech,
allways clear what possibilities the action has, when a customer
tells about problems or what he wants from the instrument.

The problem is that many technicians do the adjustments strictly
according to tables --- this and that distance should be x and y
mm, etc, with small variations from brand to brand.

Then it is easy to "tell everything looks good...", but that little
extra, or that specific request from the customer, may not be
treated, simply because the tech lacks experience/knowledge or
that it takes an awful lot of extra hours do do that "more-job".

(Still, though, I'm talking about very, very small variations.)

I hope you get in contact with a good technicican!

     Regards  --- Nik Eliasson
