Creeping center pins

[Isaac Sadigursky]

Hi,Michelle! The only long lasting==Happy Customer solution will be to
re-pin it.In my experience,many actions were not properly pinned at the
factory assembly line,where rotation of the Center Pin was in the
Bushing.Check the Center pin size and repin it again with the same size
Center pin_you will notice that it will be easily pushed in with your finger
nail into the Birds eye and will be too tight in the Flange Bushing.
Re-reaming it will be nessesary..Another word:start from scratch and
also,check other Centers,as well:Jacks,Whippen Flange..Let us know about
that troubleshooting. Hope,it helps. Isaac

Hi all.  I have a Baldwin Hamilton console (about ten or fifteen years old)
that has lots of center pins that are creeping out of their flanges.  Far
enough that they're interfering with their neighbor notes.

 

The people have had their Dampp-Chaser unplugged for a long time and
everything is dry as a bone.  I'm hoping I can get the pins pushed back in,
get the Dampp-Chaser back in action (different management now) and keep the
pins where they belong.

 

Any experience with this in Baldwins or other brands?
