Todd, What Paul said. Plus, are they excessively strong? Seems like so much pressure that it digs into the wood might not be needed. Just thinking.

I just worked on one and the springs were creaking audibly in the grooves when the pedal was depressed. I tried graphite pencil, but this seemed to wear off after several cycles of the damper lever. On closer examination, the springs had dug right through the graphite paint, ultimately riding on tiny spots of raw wood. My first thought was to apply the usual felt pads, but how to make it stick reliably to the Dag? Todd Loomis ________________________________ check out the rest of the Windows Live™.
