They broke and I glued them. They broke and I screwed them. The department wanted new replacements so I contacted the mothership and asked about ordering. I figured with a serial number I should be fine. Not so fast, the parts department told me that had only three styles current and some styles had lapsed. I looked at the photos sent and selected the ones that looked very much like the ones we have. Well, three months later I have finished desk glides that are more than twice as thick, I can fix that on a table saw. They are also about two inches short, the table saw isn't much help with that. But cutting them thinner doesn't seem to be a good idea considering the history and the short thing is a problem. I'm sure I'm not the only tech. up against this problem. What are your solutions? What drove your choice? Thanks, Andrew Anderson, Artisan Piano -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
