Sounds like typical oversight by Kimball (and many other manufacturers from that era). You might try that other suggestion of slightly bending the spoon right or left, although im not sure of long term stress on one side of the damper lever flange, but then again, It might not live long enough to have the problem! ;>) Good luck!

I doubt the spoons have been pulled up. Perhaps a dozen are actually touching the damper lifter rod. I think it was just placed too close to the spoons at the factory. I've never seen this problem before, either. I've never tried driving the rod brockets in top raise it, but I assume they are a press fit.
