<VV> Fw: solid fly wheel ad nauseum

[Frank DuVal]

A very common problem. I have run across this before buying 
remanufactured plates from local FLAPS. If is slight and I am in a 
hurry, I straighten the area as best I can. If the store can get one 
quick enough, I return it for the next stock unit.

Even shipping a new unit can be dropped and this happens.
