=20
Call Ray Negron.

    The current project on the table is  a fairly early, non-overstrung=20
Emerson.  My question for you square lovers  is this:  The action parts are=20=
in good=20
shape, worthy of renewal rather than  replacement.  However, the hammers are=
=20
of the primitive, mostly wood (and  not much wood at that) type with, 1/8 to=
=20
3/8=E2=80=9D of felt, and covered by well worn  leather.  Is there a supplie=
r of good=20
replacement smaller hammers, or am I  better off simply renewing the leather=
,=20
or replacing the felt & leather  together?  Modern hammers with the corners=20
nipped are clearly not the  solution.  The amount of pressure needed to repl=

such a felt  configuration seems minimal, but as we do on this list, I=E2=

looking for input  from someone who has already tried this a couple of diffe=

ways before I  start my experimenting.  I=E2=80=99m looking for the best ton=

with  flames is rising!)
