  "The point I guess I didn't make clearly is that on a performance 
instrument, the cost of repair is sometimes more than that of
replacement, so pinning 
balanciers on an action that has  could also use total repinning, as
well as new 
capstan pads and all the springs lubed, etc, is the more expensive way.
Why 
not replace them?"

The above assumes that you get new parts with nice even pinning.  Where
do you get yours?
