Steinway let-off screw repair

[David Love]

Gentlemen:

So that there is no confusion about my suggestion:  I would not advise using 
an 1/8" punch for the job.  A center-pin punch is more than adequate.  The 
hole can then be sized with CA glue or, better, some epoxy resin.  Redrill 
the hole if necessary and screw in the new screw.  By using a center-pin 
punch, plugging or doweling the hole should not be necessary.
