Pinblocks... Jim B.

[Robin Hufford]

     There are Delignit blocks installed by me that are around twenty years old
which I still service and, to this day, I can't detect even any change in
torque, much less any untuneability, so I think these are quite good
notwithstanding the glue and laminations in them and do the job exceedingly
well. Also, it is, as you say, great material for other uses.
Regards, Robin Hufford
