Thanks, Peter,
The drums are up to spec, the shoes are new and the adjusters snug up at 
the second click.  
I think that Crash's suggestion to shorten the stretched cable sounds 
do-able for me.  Silver soldering isn't a problem.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
                                        Regards, Glen Byrns
