Well, that being the case, how would you explain the Top sinking on that so called Maggini when it was re-worked to look more normal rather than left original as the maker intended?

I think I know the answer to that BUT, since you have a slightly different opinion of this 'platform' theory, I will let 'Maestro Schnitzer' respond with his rebuttal.

Maybe on this Romanian project it would be more cost effective NOT to Spring for a new 'Bar.. PUN intended.... Arnold? You're up..
