I have a Supraphonic with a P-85 that had the notorious jamming problem. The mechanism would stick when trying to engage the wires.
Tried all the usual suggestions, tore it down, carefully greased it, and it still jammed just as badly until I put a rubber grommet on the adjustment shaft to prevent the mechanism from sliding into the jammed position. Works fine now.
As for those of you who are having trouble with the heads stripping on the clamp screws, just take one of them down to a hardware store (a real one, Ace or Do It Best or True Value or something like that) and buy a couple of Phillips head screws in stainless steel.
Can't remember the size at the moment; they're probably either 4-40 or 6-32.
