Anyone got a digital camera they can take pics of this phenomena and send to me or post? I checked my 2002 Pat SC, my ExVFT (2003), my Liberty and the demo MM VFT I have and they are fine..but I'm curious

Also you may try making sure that the cable guard is seated all the way (loosen the locking screw, loosen the set screw..see if the guard is properly seated , then tighten back up)
