I shudder at just the thought of the mess! -- Newton Hunt">> Yeah, well Newton he didn't finish the story! :-) After cleaning out the action cavity/keybed as well as he could he promptly forgot about having spilled the stuff...subconscious ego protection and all that....... Well it seems that the next time he put the action back in and sat down to do some of his usual fine regulating he pulled on the action as hard as he usually does BUT.... being now very lubricated thoroughly with DAG it literally jumped out of the cavity, upsetting his balance on his three legged stool and Roger, action and stool toppled over backward. As he fell his feet became trapped/wedged between the keybed and now fallen stool! Of course there he was, with his feet wedged, this action now sitting on his chest while he was laying across the floor unable to get up and unable to get the action off his chest without breaking a lot of the new parts he had just installed................We don't know how long Roger stayed like this but Jaben found him sometime later and Roger just refused to talk about it then or even to this day................His broken toes healed just fine, although in really cold weather they tend to ache a little..particuarly so when he spends a great deal of time outside doing some activity such as hanging Christmas lights........ I know all this is true because Jaben told me it was and Roger would not surround himself with persons who were less than truthful would he? :-0 Jim Bryant (FL)
