Matt said: "Everett's from the 70's and 80's had a problem with the hammer springs
breaking. The felt on the hammer spring rail attracted moisture and caused
the strings. Probably the hammer springs need replaced."

Matt,
That is incorrect. The Felt was the culprit, but it was not "neutralized" in the felting/dying process. It still contained an acid, which corroded the springs. FYI<G>
