Bob has measured these ad-nauseum, and most measure as bad or worse than anything he's ever come across. They have all reached the end of their useful life. Thanks. I have a pair that I'll be restoring soon. Maybe I'll get a nice set of Daytons for it.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
