They can be worked over to make them silky smooth, but a few decades of neglect often leaves them in poor condition. For example, how many of you know where on your mech adv dist you are supposed to put a drop of oil periodically? - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
