I think as a kid I wound up on that shelf. I read a story/interview with a guy who worked at Air King, trouble shooter and supervisor on the line and while they did make some decent stuff they did cut some corners. It may be that some manufacturing may not be to spec or done well to begin with. Sometimes taking a break is good, think about it, work on something else for a change.

Good luck.

Paul
