Thank you for your help!  The DELRIN (not teflon) bushings were worn and
misshapen.  I replaced the bushings with thick bushing cloth from
Pianotech, lubricated the trapwork and pedals and rod, and now no squeak!
The sostenuto system works, with all dampers lifting individually with the
pedal and all of them lifting with the damper pedal and then the sostenuto
pedal.  They even lift pretty evenly too!

Thanks again!
