Hi Wim, My best guess would be that adjusting the lost motion.removed the necessary bounce to let the action function as it and the customer were accustom to. Adjusting the soft pedal to where it is slightly engaged would quickly return some lost motion. I know that is not kosher, but you know your customer Joe Goss BSMusEd MMusEd RPT imatunr at srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ----- Original Message ----- From: tnrwim at aol.com To: pianotech at ptg.org ; ptg_pianotechne at egroups.ptg.org Sent: Friday, September 09, 2011 6:16 PM Subject: [pianotech] sticking Wrully keys 50 year old Wurly spinet, the cheap one without a fall board. Tuned it a couple of weeks ago, adjusted lost motion and plugged in the DC. A couple of days ago the customer complained about keys sticking, especially in the middle. I Inspected the piano this morning, and determined what was causing them to stick were the spoons are hanging up on the damper lever felts. The question the customer posed, and I want to know, is this. Since the keys were not sticking before I plugged in the DC, is there a correlation with the heat of the DC and the spoons sticking on the damper lever felts?
