article on upright pedal pin repair

[Isaac Sadigursky]

Hi,Patric! If you will not be able to find the article-call me collect and I
will guide you through the procedure,it's fast and effective.Keep in
mind,Asian pivot pins are larger then USA,so ,use micrometer,drill out hole
in the center .001   larger then pivot pin,so it will go in
effortlessly.Then do the drilling from the top of the pedal to tap it for 2
set screws to keep pivot pin from rotating. Hope,I made myself clear. Good
Luck.. Isaac

Folks,
There was a fairly recent article in the Piano Technicians Journal on  
repairing a wandering pedal pin. The author's procedure involved  
drilling through the pedal above the pin, tapping the hole, and  
inserting a machine screw to secure the pedal pivot pin.
As I need to do this job tomorrow on a Yamaha U1, I was hoping to  
take another look at the article. Anybody remember which issue it was  
in? These days my Journals aren't properly organized (this box, that  
bookshelf, under the pile on the nightstand, etc), so I could use  
some help! Perhaps a hint as to what's on the cover of the issue?? Or  
maybe the size tap and machine screw recommended for the "Asian  
style" pin?
Thanks!
Patrick Draine
