Creeping center pins

[Farrell]

I agree with Isaac. I highly reccomend to not push the center pins back into position, because you may end up pushing out the buhsing.....

  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?
