This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5585-08-XT-breaking-amp-fraying-threads Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** Make sure your needle is in straight the eye should be front & center a bit to the right max of 5 degrees on a clock 1 minute after 12 is 6 degrees, so it is ONLY a bit. If you can tell it is turned to the right it is probably too far. Perfect front & center is OK. The best way to tell is not to look at the eye. look at the channel going down the length of the needle the metal on either side will be the same when you have it right. and Hello fellow Minnesotan !!! *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
