Replace all the key frame felts, including cardboard punchings.
I don't like to deal with dry-rotted punchings down the line.
Might as well replace the letoff buttons as well.

For the hammer rail, get a roll of fine emery cloth from Klingspor
and adhere a strip onto the rail with double-sided tape (a hardware
store will have 1/2" tape for plastic window sheets by 3M).
