OK, that makes sense.  I completely removed a flange screw, and still =
couldn't get the hammer off the rail.  I saw center pins between every =
butt, and assumed it was continguous (don't they do that in Europe?).  =
Since I couldn't get the flange off, I couldn't see any way to get =
traveling paper in there.

It was a Kohler and Campbell "Professional", S/N 628617, which was 1969 =
according to Pierce.  I'll have to check about the Samick part.  Does =
seem old, now that you mention it.

    Tuned a 1969 Kohler & Campber  (Samick) studio today.  Hammers going =
all over the place, left and right.  Tried to adjust one, and discovered =
each section is pinned with one giant flange pin.  How the heck do you =
travel these hammers?  Is heating and twisting the shanks the only =
option?

    Cy,
        It's not one giant pin. The butt plates have been allowed to get =
loose and the centerpins migrate until--Voila---They are all connected!
        With the action on the bench, remove the whole mess ,separate =
the butts, push the pins back in place and tighten the plates=20
        -Ream and repin as necessary--and it will  be necessary on many.
        Are you sure 1969 ? Seems a bit old for a Samick.
