And you've actually suggested that some of the rest of us are bionic? I haven't spent a lot of time gluing exploding hammers back together, but I haven't come across many I remember being able to do this with. Which brings up the question: If the felt of a hammer is that easy to squeeze back into place, what pulled it apart in the first place? AT'sa pretty lousy glue joint! Then there's the hammer to shank joint. Maybe that explains the attached PDF too, when I had a run of loose ribs in new Baldwins. We have a possible trend... From a practical standpoint, manufacturing QC has *GOT* to be a nightmare on all levels, and I doubt few if anyone noticed anything at the time indicating this stuff would be a future problem.
