Nasty Baldwin treble

[gordon stelter]

I am working on a Balwin SF grand for a church with
all sorts of nasty ringing and "trash" noise in the
upper treble where, instead of a normal capo bar, it
has those individual bearing "nuggets" ( my
terminology )
Any suggestions? ( on the noises, not my terminlogy,
please )
