Steve and John: Thanks for your replies. The sticker rail is intact, and was one of the first things I inspected. The action sits on balls. I do think the action brackets did bend, as there is a damping problem, as you suggested. I still have trouble invisioning how the support stud moved so much and caused the capstan misalignment, but I haven't come up with any other scenario. Patrick Poulson, RPT
