Sorry I posted this under the wrong subject line, so I'll post it again... The situation: 1990ish Young Chang G150. Clients' children took it upon themselves to "dope" the pinblock above the treble break with a can of pepsi. About 20 tuning pins, string coils and plate bushings are caked in hardened black syrup. From underneath you can see how the fluid crept along the top of the block and seeped through from about C4 up. Some places look worse than other from underneath. The pin torque is inconsistent from pin to pin from C4 up. About 85% of the pins are ok, 5% are questionable, and 10 % are either sticky and too tight or loose. What would you do?
