I "like" the turnbuckles. Sorry.

I've had two of Markus's frames over the last few years. I've used them  in 
many different Trons and have passed them along to others in this group (as 
 I recall) I never had problems. I do prefer the Streetly frames 
personally,  because I live the turnbuckles. The lower the friction the better the 
machine  plays. Period.

Thanks Gentlemen- actually I put the tapes in myself and did take out  
slack-still sticking. I also installed another set of his tapes from the  same 
stock in a Streetly frame ---they do not stick. Pretty sure it has  something 
to do with the MVI frame....Maybe replace the  springs?
