Jumping tuning pins

List,

A customer recently purchased a used M&H grand out of the 1960's.
Nearly every tuning pin in the piano jumps badly.  Can someone shed
light on why this condition develops?  Is there any good fix for it
short of replacing the tuning pins?  Is it possible to apply anything
(i.e. tuning pin tightener, etc) to the bottom of the tuning pin hole?
I and my customer would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks

Paul Stephens, RPT
