Are Renner butts usable on most American uprights?

Hi Dale,
     Thanks for the advice. The "new tapes" is no
problem, but the catchers don't hang down, and thus
have no the area available for the felt squares that
the jacks bump against,  so I was worried that
something bad might happen on heavy playing.
     Al Pebworth emailed me privately and said that he
has used the Renners on plenty of old players, with no
problems.
     I, for one, do not lament the closing of the
Pratt-Win plant. The Butts I got from them were quite
disappointing .
