This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment After treating some stubborn wippen flanges on a Wurlitzer console with = little success, I am repinning them. I started with the top section and = then started to reinstall them. After replacing a few, I was shocked to = find that they were still very tight. No, they can't be. If anything I = pinned them a little on the loose side. While moving a wippen up and = down I slowly loosened the screw to find the looser the screw got, the = freer the center felt. Well its getting late so I will deal with this tomorrow, but the only = thing I can think of off hand is that the flange and the rail are not = mating well and tightening the screw is distorting the flange and = forcing the "legs" together causing binding on the wippen. Does this = sound like a good guess? Anyone run into this? Best cure? The irony is that the flanges may not have needed to be repinned in the = first place. When ever I had removed one after treatment to check it by = hand, it usually would not feel too tight. Hmmmm....well its getting = repinned anyway which is still probably best for the long haul, if I can = get rid of the binding problem.
