Don,

I don't dispute it can happen, but I've treated many pinblocks some had been
doped, some not (probably most had been), and never had an experience of
that nature.  As I said before, my experience has been that typically CA
makes an
instrument tunable again, sometimes makes pins actually tight again, but not
in the "Brand-New Baldwin" category.

Regards,
William R. Monroe
