Whatever you do don't use the wrong servo arms All four of the majors seem to have either different spline diameters and or spline counts and some combinations I have caught its posible to hold the surface and force a spline slippage. In other words if its a JR servo use only JR or JR specific output arms.

John, good advise. From my decades of main frame computer repair experience, I stick to one brand, right or wrong. We found on more than one ocassion, that while the "other companies" box was designed to "standards", our systems wasn't necessarly followin them, and they wouldn't play together nicely. Lots of finger pointing and such and the user caught in the middle.

Your advise about watching the horns is dead on. Little things like that can really trip you up.
