plastic flange on spinet wippen<BR><BR>
<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2>I encountered an=
"interesting" (as in Chinese curse) repair the other day --=
replacing a shattered plastic wippen on a Lester "plasticized"=
spinet. Didn't want to remove the action, since that=
promised to shatter more of those wonderful plastic flanges,=
plus be ridiculously time-consuming (I'd ask how much you all=
would charge to remove a spinet action and repair this one=
flange -- along with the others that would likely break -- but I=
wouldn't want to risk offending the antitrust gods yet=
again:-).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyhow, to make a long story short,=
though no less painful, I finally managed to replace the=
**($$#@! flange. I won't describe my methods; rather, I'm=
hoping to hear from anyone here what techniques, magical or=
scientific or otherwise, they might employ toward this=
end.</FONT></DIV>
