Yeah, the Columbias do it the worst. They must be significantly softer.

This is why the newer arrangement seen in the Victor o types (see Baumbach's Victor Data Book, pp.71-74) and later Victor models represented such an improvement, at least from an engineering standpoint. Just my 2¢ worth.
Ah, so there is a design flaw also. Makes sense. Not a big deal, I will just stick with the early
