Howdy all, I'm a lurker on pianotech and have been learning quite a bit from everyone. Thanks! I work for Miami University (in Ohio) and one of my current projects is a 30 year old Baldwin Hamilton that I decided to 'recondition' to put in a practice room (the department got it for $200 from a branch campus). The question is: are there tests for the pinning in upright action parts? Grams of resistance? Swing test? Should I skip it anyway because of the time input? Right now it appears that the pins are all tight in the birdseyes, but I'm just wondering about the condition of the felt bushing. OK, I'm ready for answers! Jon Ralinovsky Miami U.
