That's a great shot, but I still maybe don't quite understand. If the O-ring is squeezing the L-shaped slider bar, I understand how that would eliminate rattle and make it unnecessary to have the paper clippy thing on the other end. But, if it's squeezing the L-shaped slider bar, it seems to me

Aha! OK, so IF I did snatch out the L-bar entirely the O-ring would fall on the ground, but if I just slide it out past the center tube, the O-ring stays perched on the tip, I remove the bag and push the L- bar back in. Is that pretty much it? I get it. p.s. your Rohlofftonneur is really cool.

Yes, that is it. (Admittedly, you could probably remove a paperclip just as fast) And yes, the Rohlofftonneur has been excellent so far. On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 3:09 PM, William tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: Aha! OK, so IF I did snatch out the L-bar entirely the O-ring would fall on the ground,
