Others of greater authority than I will either confirm or demolish this statement.

When they came, they were the best examples of perpetual motion machines I had ever seen. Well, golly, almost all of them have loosened up again!--not to their original state, but much looser than I find acceptable. (The piano got used a couple of times while work was in progress.) Dang, I've never had this happen before---am I in the twilight zone? I couldn't believe my eyes. Would shrinking the cloth help before I pin....again? I do have plenty of high quality bushing cloth on hand.......groan. Also, I was surprised the first time I repinned to find that the center pins were all .052. That seemed sort of big for original pinning. I replaced them with .053. Now I feel like I'm going to end up using telephone poles to get them right. Here I thought I was almost done with this job and now this...... :-( Help! Barbara Richmond, RPT ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
