A new, perhaps very effective way to treat old blocks. Votes requested.

[John Ross]

Hi Gordon,
That seems like an awful lot of work, for a patch-up job.
Since you would be replacing the strings anyway, and with the plate
off, wouldn't it be just as easy to replace the pinblock.
It seems to me that the difference in labour time, between what you
are suggesting, and replacing the block is not that much different.
The end result, with the new block, is a much better long term result
for your customer.
