Getting used to the sounds of a new to me (but well used) piece of equipment is interesting and always includes a period of tense excitement. Is that CLUNK normal? Or is it the sound of impending disaster? Is that tap-tap-tap going to turn into a CRASH? Or will it still be tap-tap-taping along 5 yrs from now?

I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
