S&S Damper Pedal question..

[Newton Hunt]

Hi Phil,

This system likely has an additional coil spring pushing down on the
damper tray.  One spring is enough if all is cleaned and relubricated
lightly and the conversion performed a la C. Ball.

I have done many of these conversions and I use a 5/8" punchings, a 3/8"
dowel and do not enlarge the pitman hole but do remove the felt.
Locating the 5/8" hole in the lever and in the tray are critical for
this conversion.  I have made a special fixture that I screw to the tray
that has a 5/8' hole in it to guide the Forstner bit.

Any questions give me a shout.
