## Discrepancy

'PLAY' WAS NOTED BETWEEN THE ELEVATORS.  INSPECTION FOUND ELEVATOR PINS TO TORUQE TUBE WORN.  REAMING, PER SM, DID NOT REMOVE ALL THE PLAY.  REPLACED TORQUE T UBE ASSY WITH NEW PINS.  THERE WAS NO ABNORMAL FLIGHT CONDITIONS BEFORE OR AFTER.  TORQUE TUBE INSPECTION IS REQUIRED EACH 1,000 HOURS, 126.6 HOURS SINCE LAST PRIMARY INSPECTION.
