Hi, List This post made me remember something, I want to point out. The easiest way also is replacing parts with original parts, but it is not always the best. Every one of us learns by experience alternative parts. example:In many Yamaha upright actions, the thread on the hammer butt flange where the hammer butt spring goes, that thread rotted away after few years, ( I donīt know if that is wordwide or only because of Venezuelan climate) There is no point substituting it with the original thread, I am using a nylon thread that lasts longer. I would like to propose a forum where we could interchange opinions about original and replacement parts that could improve performance, and durability. What do you think about it.
