Warlock and I ventured out on a service call tonight for a friend of his, who had a smoking hot Austin Powers. Unfortunately, it wasn't smoking in a good way. :)
He'd had it for 3 years, playing it nearly daily, and clearly hadn't done any maintenance whatsoever. My hands will be blackened...

For example, my very soon-to-be 5 yr old spent the evening complaining of stomach pain, finally got her to sleep and crept downstairs. Blood-curdling, someone being murdered screams followed shortly...
Attempted to improve the kickback on my High Speed, as I've noticed a marked weakening of the kick. After cleaning it and replacing the coil sleeve, I noticed no difference whatsoever. I decided to order a new armature for the kicker, as I noticed a lot of wear on the nylon.
