[Elecraft] OT - Paddle Recommendations

Tue Feb 10 18:34:02 2004

Mike ,
Your bencher must be a lot different than mine.  I have never ever had a
hint of a problen with adjustments or jamming. Maybe they made them better
back in 1996. I like mine better than the vibroplexes or maybe even the
schuur profi.
