I've polished capstans and b.r.pins, and tefloned the knucks etc. I then did something for which I am fully prepared to endure the flames, I used protek on a few sluggish hammers and increased the number of swings by 2 or 3. Surprise! I don't know how long lasting or why, I am just reporting the facts. It didn't seem to help decrease the downweight but did increase the upweight. Am I hallucinating? Any helpful thoughts appreciated. Or non-helpful but at least humorous. Ken Jankura Newburg,PA See you in Pittsburg next week
