Fred, that's what I wanted to hear. The body's not old enough, nor has it
seen enough dirt to require a CLA. I has been some time since I have used it
at slow speeds.

Strangely enough, and you're all welcome to a good laugh at my expense, when
the problem first occured I ACTUALLY removed the batteries and gave them a
wipe. Such is the schizo nature of a multi-system user.
