Yup. "quickchange" is right. My apologies. I got off on a tangent about poor quality original style points recently purchased from Snyder's instead of sticking to the subject of modern points. However, it is somewhat comforting to see I am not the only one who got a bad set of original style. At least the non-subject postings in this thread served some useful purpose in making the readers aware that bad sets of original style points are showing up, too.
So, back to the O.P.'s question. I haven't purchased the modern style for about six months and as I wrote, I have never had a problem with these conversions from the national vendors. Perhaps the modern points and the original ones that are so poorly made are manufactured by the same company? Doubtful, but that would explain why all of a sudden BOTH types are turning up bad.
