The blocks in my Potter were NOT Harken. Furthermore I
don't think the blocks were at fault. The stainless wire
got a twist or UNtwist in it and jumped the sheave.
Actually happened on TWO blocks I discovered when I took
one out to reseal. Replaced it. Just don't want HAREKEN
to take any blame they shouldn't <BG>.
