Tell you something that you can make to scrape the old cord ends from = the flange slots: get one of those plastic coat hangers with a metal = hook. Remove the plastic hangar. With your grinder or a file, reshape = the end which was in the plastic to resemble a hook similar to a = soundboard crack scraper. The grinding wheel has to have a sharp corner = to do this. Then, in use, you simply hang on to the big hook and drag = that sharpened scraper towards you and remove all the old glue and loop = cord. I like the Acetone bit. Regards from a windy and variable Sussex-on-Sea Michael G (UK) TGIF Yup! That's what I did! I posted it to pianotech-request... Well.
