<DIV>Dale and Jim,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks so much for the help. I won't be back there for a =
month but
will check both your suggestions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV></DIV> 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
