I've had two of Markus's frames over the last few years. I've usedthem in many different Trons and have passed them along to others in this group(as I recall) I never had problems. I do prefer the Streetly frames personally,because I live the turnbuckles. The lower the friction the better the machineplays. Period.

ThanksGentlemen- actually I put the tapes in myself and did take out slack-stillsticking. I also installed another set of his tapes from the same stock in aStreetly frame ---they do not stick. Pretty sure it has something to do withthe MVI frame....Maybe replace the springs?
