Hi Tom,
I am really intrigued now.
Replacing the cord, without removing the flange?
Taking the dampers off, ok.
I hope you succeed in getting an e-mail version of your handout.
Best regards,

  Ron and list,

  The nice thing about replacing the cords is that the hammers do not need to be traveled or shaped, and there is no worry about cross threading the flange screws or having to return to retighten the new flanges. Also, since a lot of the Yamahas I work on are of the grey market variety, there's no need to resort to creative ways of obtaining Yamaha flanges.

  I always work in the shop and it takes about two hours to complete the job.

  ps: I'm working on getting an electronic copy of my handout to those who asked.

      Just completed one of those Yammy jobs.  Took me 6 hours.  I would really appreciate any handouts that would save me time on my next one.  Also would appreciate hearing how one goes about pricing this type of job.

    Are these flanges not available new any more? Last set I did, replacing the flanges, took a couple of hours. Just checking. Things change on me when I'm not looking.
