Pete, This thread sure headed down the clothesline path quickly.
Hang in there, I'm sure the right Rivendell frame will show up. Our dryer had problems after we moved into our new home (the dryer came with the house, the previous owners had seven kids). I spent every evening for a week taking it apart, ordering parts, replacing the bearings and getting it reassembled while listening to complains from my daughters. Yuk! If I can equate one Rivendell to the dryer fix, I'm glad I did it now. Angus On Sep 5, 5:50 pm, pruckelshaus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, poop...the world is conspiring against me.
