This is a standard problem with this turret.

We have not had this problem with the newer IX71 turrets.

Also, they stop clicking into position.

This is a serious problem.  If anybody knows of a source for turrets, or
if Olympus would manuafacture the bottom parts for replacement, it would
be great.
