Quoted from Ballsofsteel:interesting, as the ram gets worse, and doesn't 'break in nicely' after a few plays. when people that play my machine on location tell me 'the battering ram isn't registering' it is an issue. as eskay says, just lube it up!
Yep, this right here. Doesn't matter what I think if I am getting service calls on it then it's a no go.
