Greetings all, 
     Hmm,  ok, here is the autopsy.  
  As per factory instruction,  I went to the pharamacy and told them I wanted 
straight methanol.  I placed the action in an area where it would not be 
disturbed and put one drop on each hammer center.  I waited 24 hours without 
touching it. 
    Upon trial,  I find that almost half of the center pins were so loose 
that the hammers wiggle side to side!   I must go back and repin this whole 
line before I can trust the action to work.  I was taught to repin, and I 
have done a lot of it, and I don't trust the chemical "sizing" process to 
give consistant results. 
      Anybody else have this happen?   And Lance, I know that in N.O. 
anything goes, but we are not all tropical!(:)}}}
Regards, 
Ed Foote
