Yay! Finally some good transmissions

[ossaguy]

Iv'e had a bad run of luck lately trying to get some good slimline transmissions.I tried 2 separate bags ( bought months apart ) from 1 place,and they felt awful.Like sand inside,and no locking feel at the out position,so they fall out of position when writing,and several just all notchy.

I was able to use maybe 2 out of 10.I hate throwing money away.I asked them about it,and they said that's the way they are these days...

I was able to get a new bag from CSUSA,and they have that nice hydro-like feel to them,and have a nice locking feel at the end.They were priced right,too.

I have lots of odds & ends to make a bunch of slimlines up,just needed the crummy transmissions replaced,and now I am thrilled to have a new source.I could never see them listed in their catalog before,I'm glad I asked!

Thought I'd pass along my experience.

The ballpoint Coventry trans looks and feels alot nicer than the old s/line trans, maybe CSUSA can tell us more.
