I don't get this. Is the spring too strong or gotten weak and that's why the ball bearings are losing the grasp on the inner shaft???
There doesn't seem to be major slop in the surfaces.....It only pos out and I have to reset everything if I turn it half a turn, than reset it and I can turn j and turn it, than it goes to H**l.
I find zero on Google on any other 610s with this issue of the fine tuning control shaft spitting itself out.
$50. This guy sure saw me coming.
