After weeks of waiting for a General 650, which after 5 weeks still hadn't
left Quebec, I cancelled the order and went with a Delta X5. I picked it up
today and started the assembly process. For the most part things were going
fine. Then came the step when I had to insert the support rod into the rear
trunnion... "hey, where is that hole?" A look inside and I discovered where
it was, it was about 4 inches below where it was suppose to be! Either at the
factory (that's where I would put my money) or during shipping the rear
trunnion came out of support and fell down. I couldn't get the thing to move
at all. So, now I sit with the X5 somewhat assembled and I'll have to call
Delta on Monday and see what they suggest. You hate it when you can even fire
the thing up because it's broke when it arrives (and it's not like that's an
easy thing to fix).
