skygod7777 0 #3 July 30, 2003 the manufactorer should be able to tell you if you call them. if it is about the test, i'd get it done. i mean, who says that the ones from november of 2001 are the only bad pins. we had one fail that wasn't in that time frame (it was made in october of 2000) later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky bent, and it was very "soft". like i said in the other thread, i didn't do the test myself, it was my dad, and he told me about it right after it happened *i was only about 10 feet away packing*. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There have been plenty of them breaking.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

It was reported by Phreezone in a different thread, I think it was a rigger's or the DZO's.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
