my shop about 4
weeks. After assembling it I notice a distinct click when the jacks
reset. It appears some errant chemical vapor from the shop has hardened
the jack stop felt causing a slight noise on the reset.

I'm thinking perhaps a couple drops of water/alcohol/surfactant solution
might do the trick to soften the little round piece of felt.  Anybody
have any input?"

Dean,
Just finished surveying/tuning/fiddling with a YC with the same darned =
problem. Made in 1999 and it sounds like a tap dancer!!! Yikes! It is =
the Jack Regulation Stop Felt. It is way too hard. I perused it and all =
are the kind of felt that some use for understinging felt or key end =
felt. Waaaayyy to darned hard. The only solution I can think of is to =
replace with a much softer punching. Anyone else, have thoughts? BTW, =
this is a Pramberger Series, that should be better, IMO. I wasn't =
impressed.
