Every Chinese Crayford I IMPROVED by adding shrink tube to the pinion shaft - gave the thing grip and actually holds more than a fly's weight.

I DETEST Crayfords - any flavour. Whilst Feathertouch are the best, I still found they slip enough.

R&P all the way, especially Vixen's dual speed version (which I prefer significantly to Takahashi's)

Try the shrink tube Morton. It works. Not as smooth as a standard Crayford, but at least it will hold something and actually move when it is supposed to.
