I lately I have been experiencing the ratchet lock detent ball backing off after 1500 or so loads. This then does not hold the ratchet in the open position at the end of the stroke to allow it to all return to home. Just jams it up in the bottom of the stroke. Happens so much I moved the narrow screwdriver I use to turn the screw in 1/2 to 3/4 turn on, to be stored next to the press. I also now just reset the screw now and then preemptively adjusting it now and then.
Thinking others may have delt with this. I know the exact position it needs to be in to work correctly so thinking perhaps adding some blue locktite. Anyone else deal with this?

Adjusting the set screw. Again.
