Thanks Ed and Frank. I'm going to go take care of it tomorrow. Armed with this info it should be pretty easy. -----Original Message----- From: A440A at aol.com [mailto:A440A at aol.com] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 3:36 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] Wobbly artist bench If not any info about the company, maybe some advice or tricks that could help get rid of the wobble. BTW, it's the raise/lower mechanism that has play in it; not just because of loose legs. The old mafco bences had a center anchor point to hold the long threaded rod. You will need to make sure that is firmly attached, which will often be difficult, since the screws are likely stripped and there is nowhere to put new ones. Of course, this may be a good opportunity to sell them a quality Jansen bench. It is the perfect time to do that. The time it takes to rebuild a Mafco bench costs almost as much as a new Jansen.
