I took them to a local shop, as I have no welding experience. Hardest part was installing them afterwards (remove the bottom). New pedals of slightly different dimension can be adapted. Usually, you can find some replacement pedals that will work. Maybe you'll have to move the pedal pivot brackets a little farther back or forward, but there are plenty of holes in the pedal to line up the adjusting rod. Either way will work. Good luck!

I have three broken pedals off of two uprights. One is a Grinnell console built in the mid-40's with two pedals. Both have been broken about 1'' behind the horn. The length of the pedals are 8 1/2" with 5 1/8" from horn to center of pin. The other is an old upright, the right pedal broken just behind the horn. Dimensions; 9 1/2" long; 5 9/16" from horn to center of pin. All three pedals have been brazed or welded. What's the chance that they can be repaired and how difficult is it to weld/braze them? What about replacing with new pedals? None in Schaff fit the dimensions of either size pedal. Any ideas? Joy!
