Well after using a few different bobbins from Dr. Slicks, Griffin and others I decided to give Rite bobbins a try. I liked the idea of an easy to adjust tension control. I bought two of them.

One is working as designed but the other the ceramic stem became loose and is no longer in a fixed position. Anyone else have this problem? I could send it back and they would send me another one under warranty, but I don't want to mail it in and wait for it to return. Any ideas on what type of glue I should use to reattach the ceramic thread stem?

I do like the adjustable tension mechanism, I wonder about the all ceramic tube instead of a steel tube with an ceramic insert. I wonder what will happen if I drop it. I also don't like that I can't read the label on the thread in the bobbin. With many bobbins on the bench it would be nice to know what it is loaded with, without having to remove the thread from the bobbin to find out. Any ideas there?
