---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List, Tuned a Weber WG-50 yesterday, ca. 1992, which appears to be developing growing action bracket syndrome. Several notes starting to block, and the end brackets are very tight in the little pocket that locate them fore-and-aft in the keyframe. Also had a jack fail during tuning - that finger joint where the tender is attached came apart after a hard test blow. It appeared to have very little glue on it. I understand that if a note is just barely blocking, and you give it a good hard test blow, that could put a lot of strain on the tender and might cause a healthy one to fail. but I also have a vague recollection of hearing that a certain Asian manufacturer had a problem with starved glue joints in this area. So, what do you think? When I approach Weber for the new bracket job, should I also go for breaking and regluing all the jack tender glue joints? Or is it a good bet that, once properly regulated, the jacks will survive as is? thanks Mike Michael Spalding spalding48@earthlink.net ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
