         Hmmm, that's about what happened to my traditional which is why
it's in pieces.  I had to take it apart more in order to fix the hub.  I
think it may be the glue they use just disintegrates with age.  I wrote to
Ashford and they have yet to reply but Straw into Gold (or what remains of
them) wrote me back about another problem very quickly.
