PBR is what you need before you try to tune this thing. (or just Stroh a
party)

Sounds an awful lot like "PinTite", or some similar pinblock tightener.
The pins which don't move the tuning hammer by themselves probably make you
think you are dealing with a marshmallow pinblock, too, right?  

CA glue _might_ (emphasis MIGHT) help, but if you have bunches of
self-motivated pins that's iffy and TEMPORARY AT BEST.
