Thanks!

 

And with the elbows, based on everyone's experience, what would be the best
(wooden, plastic, or vagias snap-on)?

Matthew,

It wouldn't be unusual for the drop wires to be bent and/or binding 
where they hook on the keys, acting like a spring preventing the return 
of the key. Try disconnecting one from its key, and see if the 
wippen-butt-hammer assembly returns freely without the constraint of the 
key-dropwire joint.
