will quite reliably snap. I've always like the Universal 61s. Had them on a
Paramount eons ago, and have them on my 1973 Hetchins now. With Universal
pads, and they modulate nicely.

that come with spherical washers like the old Matthausers, for complete
adjustability. Anything like this available?
