Yup, another cracked plate post. I know there is the Lock 'N Stitch (or =
whatever it is called) repair method and welding by someone experienced =
with welding cast iron. However, this plate has three of its five struts =
cracked/broken. They are nearly cracked clear through. How/why would =
that have cracked in the first place? Would ANY repair be appropriate =
given the structural importance of the struts? If so, which repair might =
be best? Opinions?=20

The picture below shows one of the breaks, the other two are very =
similar. I can slip a business card into the base of the crack.

Thanks for any input. I've never worked with a broken plate before. The =
piano is a 6-foot 1898 Weber and a family heirloom.
