  Hello,

  Change them, it is easy and not very long, the new chrome at the base =
will add some holding for the worn keys.
  The touch will be much smoother with new pins always

  I seal the wood with some heavy lacquer, hoping the pins will stay in =
place at the balance rail (I've seen some pulling out after a few years.

  What other method can be used ?

    Hi Kieth,
                   If they are rusty and pitted, just replace them, it's =
just as fast as cleaning them up.   New pins are cheap.

Is it wax? or memorax?
