[CAUT] Thumping Baldwin SF

[Jim Busby]

Good morning Joe!

But if it's bedded properly why would it knock? Isn't that the definition of a bedded frame; no knock? And how could bushing cloth possibly NOT wear out there, and rather quickly? I learn new things daily on this list, and Jon is one of the best. It's just something I haven't seen nor thought of. And how do you adhere it? Jon?

Regards,
Jim

Hi Jim,
If you tap the base where the (key bed) action lies sometimes that area will
ring like a drum.

I've had luck with Crescendo punching.

Jon, you covered the glides?? Were they knocking or something? (I'm
certainly not questioning you're abilities, but this sounds a little weird.
Explain?)

Jim Busby

I had this thumping noise on an L from the '70's. Replacing the impacted
front rail punchings did not quiet it enough for the player.

I ended up covering the bearing areas on the bottom of the key frame
and glides with bushing cloth.
