if my mother was on board she would have been gone long ago![&:] but i do lick the idea of more room. taking off the weights will do what? i do have the bell hiller head and i find that there is an awfull lot of play in the head for what it is. i wonder if all the bang ups learning have loosened it up at some of the linkages and now maybe needs to be re-buillt? how much play is too much and how much should it have?
