Teflon bushings and CA

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Dan, 
             Less than 3 months, Hopefully after next weeks Poulanc's duo
piano concerto.
The choice was. An uneven, unvoicable, treble for the second piano, or
gamble, with the institutions consent.
My recommendation was gamble.
The shanks and fanges were seperated before carefully applying the CA to
the edge of the collar. Flanges were reamed for 3 swings. I know a little
tight. but it gave a nice full singing treble. 
The repair is not visible unless the flange is removed.  Many of the
bushings fell out once the flange was removed.
Thank's Ed and Newton,  this is what I considered a back against the wall
fix, but maybe not.
 Dan, your mentor's advice is sound. I am not 100% comfortable with it with
the fix, but some times we have to make tough choices.
 Between a Rock and a Hard Place.  <G>
Roger
