thanks. I'm thinking a good "brogan maintenance" kick would help as a well.

As a very young pilot flying the BoeingWB-50, we had the props go out of electric sync. The control box had a bunch of spring bells it and lots of electrical contacts to keep the props in sync with the masker. I watched my engineer front his seat reach out an kick the control box. The box went "brrrrrasfwewf" shaking on its spring mounts. The props changed speeds with loud noises and settled back in positions. God love the senior flight engineers!!
