Thanks Marcel and Ross, I went there yesterday and it was just the usual sticky key problems. Anyway, I am grateful you mentioned the hammer spring thread loop and I looked at them too. They were still strong and fine. Maybe next time?...who knows.

I've seen this many times where the loops break and this problem occurs.

What would I have to look for other than the usual sticky key problems? Your comments are appreciated.
