Hi Dollyo - I recently purchased the NG frame from the original owner - one of the tracks was cracked, causing the carriage to get stuck at that spot. I tried using the 1/4" stainless steel rods as mentioned, but am finding that the carriage does not glide as easily as it did on the original track. Do you have any words of wisdom or suggestions? I realize that your original post was from several years ago, and you might not even have this frame anymore, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Thank you for any assistance! Dawn
