---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Michael, What about metal polish? It would just remove the dirt and corrosion and not the plating. I would use alcohol afterwards to remove the traces.

I got the same message from Andre - about the sand-paper, that is. However the original question turned out to be quite academic since I find the centres quite free and clean so I'll just go over them with Protek CLP as Andre suggests and hope for another 90 years trouble-free use! It'll probably see even me out! Any bright ideas about cleaning and polishing up the damper wires? Steel wool (0000)? Regards from a cloudy but promising Sunday morning in that Downland village.

It would also be a good idea to put a thin stip of sandpaper on the rail, to help the flanges from "squirming".<G> Kind of a pain to punch and glue on, but well worth the effort, down the line.
