I "like" the turnbuckles. Sorry.

I've had two of Markus's frames over the last few years. I've used them 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 machine plays. Period.

Thanks Gentlemen- actually I put the tapes in myself and did take out slack-still sticking. I also installed another set of his tapes from the same stock in a Streetly frame ---they do not stick. Pretty sure it has something to do with the MVI frame....Maybe replace the springs?
