I've been meaning to sort out the vacuum actuator issue for a while, and my Martha-ness would never allow me to do the rolled up towel thing unless it was an emergency. All is well with the fleet this week, so I have time to get into this and sort it out, which I have been meaning to do for a while. Just a matter of priorities. Thanks!
