    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.
