John,

That's the way mine always works and sounds, which is why
I am considering changing to Yale Lite. However, a Potter
Netter has suggested I post to Brion Toss rigging to see
what response I get, and I just did that. I know I think
the wire keel lift system has always been the only
aggravating thing about my Potter. I expect the wire to
BOOOONIIIING! at any moment. Will let everyone know what
response I get.
