John, Dave, list, I've been assuming that someone else would post this but since they haven't, I'll take a stab. John, you're correct, as far as the way I understand it. Susan (and probably some others) have posted several times about this. Dave, I've always heard that Renner had graphite in their bushings, not on their center pins? Am I wrong about this. I do know that I wish they wouldn't! In my experience, too many times they have to be repinned because of this! OK, I stuck my neck out. Anyone else? :-) Be nice if I'm wrong.
