question and question about archives

[Dave Davis]

Tom,

I have come across your situation several times in WurliTzer grands built by Samick. They were under warranty and Samick paid me to shrink/stabilize the bushing, and repin. I've found the problem more often in the damper underlevers, but also the jacks and sometimes the hammer flanges. Young Chang also built Wurly's for a few years, but I have doubts if you or the customer could get much warranty help from them right now.

Dave Davis, RPT

List
 
I have a client with a 5 year old Wurlitzer grand.  It has had an ongoing problem with tight action centers.  I have already repinned all the hammer flanges; many of which would swing only once or twice, before the repinning.  CLP worked only temporarily, thus the repinning.
 
Now the jacks are starting to freeze up.  Now I could go ahead and repin all the jacks, but I recall something on the list recently about these pianos and someone had dealt with this problem in the past.
 
I tried searching the archives, but a search of "Wurlitzer" yielded over 2400 hits on Google (that's how the archives are searched now, through Google, I guess) and a search of "Wurlitzer action centers" yielded 5, none of which were of this recent thread in which this problem was discussed.
 
Other than repinning, is there any solution for this problem?  And...I seem to recall, from that recent post-thread...that repinning didn't help, ultimately, either.
 
Help!
 
Thanks,
Tom Sivak
