List, I inspected an older (50s or 60s) Heinzman console today, the piano was to be evaluated for consigment at the store I work at. The piano was in absolutely great shape, good board, bridges nearly perfect, nice finish even...but the action had plastic flanges and jacks. The jacks were so brittle that I would just have to press lightly on the side of one and it would snap off at the centre pin. I wonder if it would be possible to find a similar wooden jack, and also replace the flanges? Has anyone ever attempted anything like this? I would expect that even if this were possible it probably wouldn't be cost effective given the amount of labor involved. Any comments?
