Great idea Jim, but i'm afraid some CA would go all
the way through the block and glue the windings to the
pin, or put a cap over the bottom of the pin
efectively stopping motion through the block by tuning
( or driving ) I HAVE, though, had great sucess on
REALLY loose pins by turning the piano upside down and
putting, over the courseiof a week, about 3 full
bottles of pin tight on the underside of the block.
really sloidified the pinsn a fabulous 6'2" Conover
grand I had with spinninpins.
