M&H console/damper spoon problem

[Ritchiepiano@AOL.COM]

I  just did one of these today, better look at the "felt"
on the damper lifter, it is not woven cloth and the spoons
had all but eaten it away.

We recently got a used Model 50 Mason & Hamlin console in the store, and it 
was my job to regulate and prep it for sale.  I found the action to play 
quite heavily, and so I polished the capstans, sprayed the key pins with 
teflon spray, used CLP on the action centers but found little or no 
improvement.  Next I checked the dampers and found that they lifted almost 
immediately when the key was depressed. (The impact of early lifting dampers 
on touchweight is, BTW, something I learned about here on the list---thank 
you!)
