    Jim, The Newman billiard's stem appears (to me!) to have been repaired as there is an almost straight line just short of the bit. Plus the amber button appears darker than the rest of the stem. Or my old eyes are just messed up and I have no idea what I'm talking about!!!! FTRPLT

    Explain the logic here, please.

    Over the last many years, there have been several threads about "customs" problems. IIRC, Canada, the UK, and Australia had the most problems; I have no exact figures to support this claim. FWIW, FTRPLT
