Parts for Chickering 1/4 grand

[dale r fox]

Hi Paul,
	yes this is an exact replacement,  but only for the whips.  The shank
flanges are about 1.5" to 2" long and curve upward at the center pin
intersection.  The brass 'butt' plate is also curved at that point.  The
drop screw passes through both the flange and the plate.
	Jim's suggestion may be the best but I don't wish to give up just yet on
new parts if by some stretch they're available.
	Thanks for all the replies.
