heh...Oh, look.  #805 is blushing!  :-)

At the time you played it, Fritz, it wasn't adjusted "right"---it was way 
too light per the 'tron spec.  I didn't go for the "2 cranks" on the pinch 
rollers or the "1 crank" on the pad arm, just "enough" to get it to not 
have wobblies.

However the aging pinch rollers and the new tape formulations are taking 
their toll, and over time I've become a little cranky.

...kl...M400 #805 - definitely cranky
