Samick damper rod pins

[Arlie Rauch]

Yesterday on a Samick I serviced, I noticed the dampers were hardly 
lifting off in the center of the piano.  So I removed the action.  One 
of the damper rod pins was loose, not broken (fortunately).  I intended 
to replace it with a Schaff #545 damper rod pin, but these repair pins 
are not compatible.  I filled the hole with CA glue, stuck the pin back 
in, and it held (I'm not holding my breath as to how long).  If the pin 
had been broken, I'm not sure what I would have done.

Does anyone know a source for the Samick damper rod pins?  The Samick 
pins are a larger diameter on the end that enters the rod and a smaller 
diameter on the other end that enters the hinge.
