Hi all Wyatt's has some great stuff, but to be honest I can't get the Exhibitions to close with their tubing, it is like it is too fat or something. APSCO's works great, but I sense that it might not be as airtight? On the other hand, APSCO's Exhibition gaskets suck farty air, but Wyatt's are primo. I sense I have missed some of the postings, but I like Wyatt's needles. I once had some APSCO needles and it was like the plating was bad. Maybe they have a new supplier now. THe old Yesterday Once Again needles sucked, if I remember, but so did many of their parts like the horrible needle bearings for replacing Edison pot metal bearings. Noisy as hell. And their original oil bronze bearings were a bit smaller than the hole in the casting, so the mandrel shaft wasn't true.
