It's better to point out the situation with the Corfam now rather than waiting and having the jack start to click hitting the hard Corfam on return and the catchers slipping/bobbling out of the backchecks. Don't make your present oversight a future burden for the customer. You can always sell the hammers to someone, there's plenty of exploding hammers out there. Or simply sell them an Ecsaine repair if it's worth it; if not, it shouldn't get new hammers in the first place. If they can't afford the replacement, absorb the expense and replace it, chalk it up to experience; you won't make that mistake again. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
