Loose bridge pins.

[David Love]

Normally I would unhitch the string and put a few drops of very thin CA glue 
on the pin letting it run down into the hole wiping off the excess very 
quickly.  I have had this problem recently on a couple of old MH's and it 
solved the problem very well.  Even given the recent discussion, I don't 
think treating a single pin would create too many problems for the 
unforeseeable future.
