I did not specify clearly.  This is a console. Sorry.

Hi,
Have you ever seen/had a wood elbow break?
My druthers would be the drop action over the compressed action.
But then with all the new stuff comming out of far away places it 
is hard to justify reccommending work on anything from 1940 to 1980 
in the shape of a box.

Hi, Joe, and anyone evesdropping ... you said, about elbows, "Wood is better
than the plastic."

Why do you say that? With then general sloppiness and slowness of the wire
drop-sticker action, what possible difference could it make?

Hi,
Wood is better than the plastic. But the cost of replacing is much higher.
Got my last set of wood that replaces the plastic from Pianotec.
While they work, they are a little shorter. One needs to turn them into the
wood 1/16" less
to keep the regulation of lost motion near the same.
If replacing with the plastic, tool # 317 makes easy work of the removal of
the old elbow.

While tightening the plastic hammer flanges of a mid 40's Mason/Hamlin, one
of the plastic flanges broke.  Do I need to replace it with another plastic
one, or would a wooden one be fine?
 
Any specific or weird dimensions to those flanges or are chances good that I
can find one from my saved parts bin?
