Like Fred, I am not familiar with a Journal article on the subject. However, I know a technician who often puts a very thin Teflon sleeve over the front rail pins. He claims that the bushings don't wear out as quickly and that it makes tighter key easing tolerances possible. YMMV.

Anyone know anything about this? Thank you. Ed Sutton < I'm speaking of front key bushings. I know that at Indiana University, when it was time to rebush the keys, they replaced them with teflon bushings. They had to mortice out the key to accept the bushing. There was an article on it in the Journal a few months (or year) back. ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
