I've run into them when some are quite rubbery. This usuall occurrs when =
a DC rod with no humidistat was installed right below the elbows (and =
kept plugged-in for 50 years) - the rod is long enough to toast most of =
the elbows, but the few at each end don't quite get baked all the way =
through.

  Are you sure they are not brittle.  Usually you can break them easily =
with a pair of pliers. =20

  Dear List,

  I am replacing all the plastic drop action elbows on a Winter spinet.  =
I have 40 elbows which are not brittle and have to be removed in some =
way other than breaking them off.  Is there an easier way to do this =
other than removing the whippens and pushing out each center pin?

  Thanks for your help,

  Arthur Chickering
