I made two felt discs, unscrewed the two buttons, added the discs and all is well. The clack was just the button heads hitting the wood. Danny was the best deal in town. I don't think he builds any more. His web page is gone as well.
Well, at least my kids are through college, the house is paid off, I have no debt, and retirement is around the corner. Anyone can afford anything when they borrow the money. Contrary to belief, you do not always get what you pay for. Sometimes you eat the Bear, other times the Bear eats you. I'll stick by the quality box Danny made for me as others will with their Le Capitaines. Low overhead makes for competitive pricing.
Nice weather here in MD today.
