David,
No harm to any as the skill of the juice removal has been handed down =
from my ancestors who were English goose farmers, makers of down filled =
things like coats, mattresses and other things filled with goose =
feathers.

    I have a customer with a Chickering grand that I think is well over =
a hundred years old. (The action brackets are wooden.) It may never have =
had the action regulated. I broke the first two adj. screws I attempted =
to turn, put a few drops of Protek CLP on and tried again in a week. =
They were still not budging. It seems like this was discussed on the =
list some time ago, but I couldn't find the right search parameters in =
the search engine. Does anybody have an idea of what to drip, spray, =
inject into the wood to allow movement of the screws and, ultimately, =
regulation of the action? Or, alternatively, the proper search terms for =
the archives?
    Thanks,
