(on several notes typically you can hit just a bit past a medium soft blow and the hammer start getting jammed off to one side) There are other problems with them as well, but I do not feel competent enough to speak on matters such as beams and ribbing, etc, so I will leave that to others. Richard Brekne >> Richard: I think you and I went 'round and 'round on this subject last year. I asked you then, and will ask again today: how many Petrofs have you serviced, and how long ago did you service them? The other question I have to ask is directed at Petrof, and I will call them to ask. Are the Petrofs shipped to Europe, and particularly to Norway, different from those sent to the USA? I ask that because I just cannot see the problems you are describing. Willem
