Only a couple shattered. I think that is because the pressure is evenly distributed. John M. Ross Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada jrpiano@win.eastlink.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: Farrell To: pianotech@ptg.org Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 12:28 PM Subject: Rubber Nuts Replacement on Spinet Looked at a 1962 Wurly spinet today with the rubber nuts on the key ends. Of course, the rubber was hard and brittle. However, in this case, the rubber seemed to also be fused to both the metal fork thing on the key end as well as the threaded rod that goes to the wippen. I've replaced sets of rubber nuts before, but only when they came off reasonably easy. This appears to me to have the potential to be a time consuming nightmare of a job where each fork and each threaded rod would require quite a bit of tedious cleaning of hard rubber before installing and adjusting the new nuts. Anyone with experience with this situation have any advice? Thanks. Terry Farrell ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
