1- test--hold down the pedal and play all the 88 keys in three or four big
handfuls.  Let off the pedal and use your hand (use a glove if strings are
shiny) to find what section actually stops ringing when you touch them.  It
is likely limited to a section or a string and just because it is a high
pitch does not mean it is coming from treble strings.  Often wound bass
strings ring with high pitches.  Keep doing this until you know exactly
where the ring is coming from.  It may be only one or two strings ringing.
Keep it up until you find them.

2 bend the wires on damper(s) that do all the ringing.  If it is bi- or
tri-chord unison damp each string separately with your hand to see which
side of the damper felt is not touching.

Let us know how it goes.

  List

  I don't think anyone can help me with this, but here goes...

  I replaced the damper felts on an Acrosonic spinet.  My initial diagnosis
and decision to replace the damper felts was based on the familiar sound of
ringing after notes were played.  I did notice that the spoons were lifting
most of the dampers very early, preventing some of the dampers from having
good contact pressure with the string, but I found a few that were OK and
when I checked them, they didn't dampen
