Wurli growing action brackets?

Terry, Ron, Et al,

The G series Wurlitzers (G411, G452, G457, G461 and maybe a couple of
larger ones) were built for Wurlitzer by Young Chang.  Certain ones from
the early 90s will exhibit the action bracket growth.  As of the last
word to me, Baldwin/Wurlitzer/Gibson does not have these parts and do
not provide any warranty coverage (parts or labor) for these
instruments.  Since they stopped supporting these instruments, YC has
provided brackets when they have them available but are at no obligation
to do so.  Any other brands made during this era, Weber, Pianodisc, etc.
are the responsibility of the company warranting them.  With the changes
at YC, I can't predict policy in the future.

The C series Wurlitzers (C143, C153, etc.) were built by Samick and are
the same ilk as the Howards and DH Baldwins with similar C model
numbers.  I've never seen action bracket growth problems on these.

I hope this helps,

Did Young Chang ever make Wurlies?
