>Hi group,
>I'm a new poster and quite new to this business, so be gentle. Went to 
>tune a Wurlitzer console today and the owner mentioned a "few sticky 
>keys".  Well, at least half the hammers either returned slowly or didn't 
>return at all when I pressed and then released the soft pedal. Took one 
>hammer out and hit the flange with CLP and  swung it back and forth 
>until it was free.
>What's the best course of action (no pun intended)?  Repin? lubricate?  
>Is there a quick method for freeing this beast up?
>Thanks for you help.
