Dale and Jim,

Thanks so much for the help.  I won't be back there for a month but will =
check both your suggestions.

Actually, I had suspected the pulsator was loose and tried to get some =
thin CA up to one of the joints, but only succeeded in getting a couple =
of fingers glued together.  Fortunately, I had heeded Jim Harvey's =
advice (always to have the solvent handy--after having glued himself to =
the work bench).

Dale--how do you remedy the loose pulsator situation--pry it loose if it =
will come, and glue it back?  Now that I've written that, it seems like =
a stupid question, but any suggestions are welcome (except "you're a =
dummy!").  The pulsator is so hidden behind a confluence of beams that =
getting it loose and glued back seems quite a challenge.

             The "Pulsator" on a B of this age could easily be loose. It =
is doweled to the 5 ribs & also elevated off of them by shims, but don't =
ask why. In my practice they are frequently not very tight. This is a =
strong possibility for your buzz.
