    Interesting. I didn't know this was a common issue for 401's.

    Thanks a lot. I'd noticed that on mine when repairing jeans.

    My #1 500a does that. I wonder if the fix is the same? I'll have to check.

    aileen, thanks for posting that.

    My 403A does that too. I hope it's a similar fix. That IS a great site! thanks.
