Replaced hanger is too long or short causing the rod to rub on the backs
of the spoons.

60=92s Kimball Console.
=20
Problem: Loud squeak every time the sustain pedal is depressed, slowly
or quickly.
=20
Hints/Clues (containing everything you need to know to solve the
riddle):=20
=20
1. Squeak does NOT originate anywhere in the trapwork, i.e., it=92s in =
the
action.
=20
2. I had to remove the action to find the problem.
=20
3. Rod, hangers and hooks all in place, nothing bent.
=20
4. Hooks were broken once and replaced (see next clue for reason=85)
=20
5. It=92s a country church piano. They use guitars and drums and the
sustain peddle is apparently part of the rhythm section, a phenomenon I
call PPS, or the =93Pentecostal Pedal Syndrome=94 =96 you know, where =
the
pedal pin and/or pedal support brackets bend and/or break, eventually.=20
=20
6. I lubed hanger felts with Protek. No help at all.
=20
The following final clue should give it away -- but if you aren=92t sure
don=92t be afraid to guess anyway and make a fool of yourself, we=92re =
all
friends here after all =85 <G>
=20
7. When you depress the sustain pedal, a few of the hammers =93wink,=94
i.e., move slightly.
