The perpetrator: 1920s S&S D in private home (da purrfesser's)
The complaint: intermittent damper pedal squeak.
The background: Beautifully rebuilt inside and out, and generally lives
up to all the hype S&S has ever promulgated.
Unsuccessful attempts to squelch:
-determined that noise was _not_ internal.
-checked adjusting nut on rod
-inspect, lube and tighten pedal plate (that one in
pedal box on underside of pedal lever)
-lube pedal rod socket
-lube rod and guide bracket
-lube leather on trapwork arm
-remove and lube trapwork arm
-remove and lube pitman
-removed lyre and tightened attachment plate screws
-tightened cam screw
Still squeaked. Where was it? (yes, I did determine the cause)
Answer tomorrow.
