      That's a pain, at least these can be replaced with ease. I hope it won't cause you any issues with the day to day running of Ultima.

      That will be fun....not. Crownline moulds were many and varied, and some of the parts that came out of them weren't worth writing home about, being just lumps. I did wonder whose hands they had passed through after Crownline went down. The cast brass and nickel-silver parts were a bit better.
