Hi Elwood,
I suppose those repair springs might be ok, in an emergency.
But, I would recommend, installing the proper new springs on the rail. If some are bad, the rest are on the way.
If you do replace the springs, make sure to remove, any felt that might be there. Impurities in the felt, was what caused the problem, in a lot of pianos from the late 70's and 80's

  Anyone have any good ideas regarding installing repair hammer butt springs in an Acrosonic spinet?  I have the kind of springs that has a flat plate (really small) with a slot in it for placing a screw in it.  Anyone tried using thick CA glue or that new "gorilla glue" to attach it to the hammer butt spring rail?  Just wondered.
  Joy!
