I'm nervous that my old etalon (early model PST) Is suddenly moving a little too easily. It used to have much more stickiness but now for most of it's range of motion it is fairly fluid. I can still see the changes in tuning, but it is difficult to determine if the relatively poor performance of my PST Stage 2 mod (5mm BF is due to the etalon degrading or the mellow sun.
