Greetings, 

         I purchased a bunch of piano stuff from a gal who said she is 
getting out of it. There was alot of good stuff for the price of it however there 
are a couple of boxes of questionable tuning pins.

         First, there are pins that have a slight amount of rust, not much at 
all just very small shallow spots. Are these pins good for maybe old uprights 
or somthing or should pins with even the smallest amount of rust never be 
used? How meticulous should one be with this sort of thing?

         Second, the tuning pins in another box feel slightly oily. I think I 
am just going to take them to the scrap. They could contaminate a pinblock 
couldn't they? 

Its so late
