Hey guys,
Have a problem.  I have three broken pedals off of two uprights.  One is =
a Grinnell console built in the mid-40's with two pedals.  Both have =
been broken about 1'' behind the horn.  The length of the pedals are 8 =
1/2" with 5 1/8" from horn to center of pin.  The other is an old =
upright, the right pedal broken just behind the horn.  Dimensions;  9 =
1/2" long; 5 9/16" from horn to center of pin.  All three pedals have =
been brazed or welded.  What's the chance that they can be repaired and =
how difficult is it to weld/braze them?   What about replacing with new =
pedals?  None in Schaff fit the dimensions of either size pedal.

Any ideas?
Joy!
Elwood
