Michelle: Well, I finished the pining this morning, and while the fact that the bushings tightened on working the shank was strange, I didn't have any other problems with it. Reaming removed a good bit of the graphite and I got them all to 4 swings with no problem. I was able to use #21 pins on nearly all of them -- 21.5 on 5 or 6. I use Renner parts on all the Steinways here so I'm pretty used to them. Good luck with yours. dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 6/17/2002 at 11:34 AM Michelle L Stranges wrote: >Mr. Porritt, > >Are you spying on me in my shop?? > >Taking a good post away from me bub?? > >Wuuuuulllll.. > >I have not even finished reading the responses. > >In the case of the Steinway I was working on...SAME description of parts, >play time, swing test freak out and alla that. > >I'm sure once you started extracting centerpins you found that the pin was >a >bit too simple to push out from the birdseye area where it should be tight. >?????? > >That using your spiffy broaches with the graphited flange cloth produced >unpostable comments from you at the bench.?????? > >What a PITA the action was to work on...very frustrating. > > >I feel your pain. > >:) a concerned citizen > >stranges@oswego.edu David M.
