Dale,
Sorry , my writing was perhaps not clear.  I said that on actions which 
are NOT treated as the Steinway flanges were, rebushing can be a 
solution, because there is no chemical in the wooden action part to 
re-contaminate the bushing.

I agree with you on solving Steinway verdigris problems by replacing the 
action parts.

Respectfully over on this side, too.
