Thanks Don, I had been looking at the archives for a while, and about the time
you sent your reply, I had finally figured out the correct search term to use
and found that very thing about the felt washer.

Good news is I got a few of the fuzz strings out and the tension has freed up 
'some'. Bad news is it's not back to where it use to be.

But hey it's a lot better, guess some of the fiber strings were inside where I 
couldn't get them out. Maybe they will work themselves out in the future, I hope.

Thanks again for the K2 reply, now I can unsubscribe again. Can't cope with the,
'All K3 All the Time' aspect of the list. Shrug, yea you're right, I'm just 
jealous cause I can't afford one, oh well, maybe they will break up the lists 
some day and I can come back to stay.
