I just ordered 2 old type A's from Puzzle Proz and am having a LOT of trouble getting the tension right.
Right now, I was using Pestvic's video of tightening everything until I could barely move the sides. Then I continually loosen little by little until it pops. That REALLY lets the first side move great, but then I move to the next side and it pops almost instantly.
Figuring it was because this side was all the way in while the other was out a lot, I retighten the first some more so I can loosen the 2nd. This continues until both sides are pretty stiff and I move to the third. It pops almost immediately, and I find myself tightening more.
basically, I have each side a little loose right now so I can turn the sides, but they are still REALLY tight and not at all smooth or cutting corners as I expected.
No I haven't lubed or broken it in yet, but I was told DIY's really didn't need to be broken in. Plus, my pieces had almost no imperfections.
