I've got 98C a year old (or it will be in 10 days), and i had to replace the power tube after the little nub for the RT broke off. Not sure how it happened, but it was in the middle of a 600 man game, not fun. But anyways i ordered another power tube through a friend who owns a PB store and installed it ok. Now i've got the problem of the velocity jumping all over the place. When the velocity screw is where it normally is for 280 fps., it has a velocity of a max of 20 fps either side (ie. 260-300 fps) and for some reason it wil shoot a signle high shot then the next one would be low. Since i've got the flatline, it's very picky about having the velocity too high (it can send the balls off in odd directions) Just out of curiosity, i unscrewed the velocity screw until it was almost all the way out, and it had a 322-238 fps range, rather messed up if you ask me. But anyway, any idea of what might be causing it? i know that it sorta point towards the power tube, and i was already considering getting the DOP Custom 98 Pro Seal. Any help would be wonderful.
