[QUOTE="spitzair, post: 134487, member: 3333"] Our 873 C series did the same thing, wasn’t being used enough and the float detent part of the spool got rusty to the point where it would actually cause the spool to stick and it was impossible to do any sort of precision movements with the boom. I took the valve out and apart and of course the little balls took flight into the abyss of our shop never to be found again. I did discover that the balls in an L style air coupling were a perfect match to the balls that stayed behind. I cleaned everything up as best as I could but it didn’t help much so I sent the valve off to the dealer who replaced some bits in there with upgraded parts and it hasn’t been an issue since… [/QUOTE]
