Knuckles/Graphite

[Jack Houweling]

Hello
I just finished working on the Baldwin. The knuckles where maybe ten-fifteen
years old and graphite was caked on the knuckles. I used a rag and naphtha
and removed so much graphite. I then let it dry for a couple hours and
applied teflon powder. This reduced the downweight by 5-7 grams.
