Hi, Gary,

Did it have the two-piece brass hammer flanges originally? I just
measured an old sample from a 121 ¼g:

6.80mm	centerpin to bottom of flange
15.25mm	centerpin to center of roller slot
10.55mm	roller height guess

So the roller radius would be 18.55mm. I think I remender these not
corresponding with what's available from the catalogs.

If this is something you're inclined to change, Pianotek displayed a
little mototool fixture for slotting shanks (I don't know if they're
selling it), otherwise the carbide blade for the Microlux table saw
works pretty well.
