With regard to the OP, it's a good idea to change all the lockfits in the IF strip even if the dropper's OK.

I did wonder how long 1500s stayed in rental use after being reconditioned to replace the 1600s.
Certainly there seems to be more of them surviving compared to 1600s, but I imagine a fair amount were private purchases.
