[pianotech] Everett lid hinges

[Porritt, David]

Actually, they weren't hinges they were just brackets.  You had to undo the allen bolt to get access.  They were designed for schools so curious students couldn't get in.  I always carried the appropriate size allen wrench and really tightened them down!

Subject: [pianotech] Everett lid hinges

I am rebuilding a 1962 Everett studio, that had those lid hinges that  
bolt onto the back of the piano with a single allen bolt.  
Unfortunately, the lid, and therefor the hinges were missing. I have  
been able to make a new lid easily, but now I need a source for a pair  
of those hinges. Barring that, I could at least use a good photo of  
one of them.
