I've tried all these wonderful suggestions (I do have a sense of humor = and enjoy these clever responses - especially when they are balanced = with something useful ;-). But my center pins still look like the photo = below: Stuff wipes off with a bit of effort and yields a nice clean shiny = center pin - I don't think the pins are corroding or loosing their = plating (like I've heard can happen on some Samicks).=20 So, my questions remain as follows: - What is this stuff? - If I simply repin, can I not presume that the goop will come back (I = suppose it would be a good thing to ream up a pin size or two)? - Do I need to rebush (like the US is doing today - oh, no I couldn't do = that!)? - If I need to repin and rebush all the jacks and wip levers, seems to = me I'm already pretty close to the point where it would be cheaper to = just install new wippens - what say yee? Thanks for any CONSTRUCTIVE input. ;-) Terry Farrell ------=_NextPart_001_00AD_01C4FF79.ABBCCF60 An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
