You're right, Michiel, luck is the operative word. This was my second one.

It worked right out of the box on bodies that had been serviced by Oleg.

I'm going to quit while I'm ahead now. The first one was fouled up
(loose elements). I sent it off to be repaired, otherwise I'd not be
able to sell it.

But this one, a black one from 1969, is a beauty.
