futura- I saw a post somewhere, sometime, who knows, that there is a titanium shaft for another bird (maybe HB) that could fit the CP but I never saw any more about it. There was no reference on where to get it though and I forgot about it. Rolling it on glass works best for me. I put a piece of 1/4" glass on my workbench at the edge and hang the gear over the side gottab.... said. Nothing personal gottab... that's just too long to type. (I've gottaford2).

As far as repairing (or replacing) them I totally agree. It's a royal pain.

I'm thinking it was an HB CP2 because the heads are interchangeable.
