Hey Now, Something I've tried with great success in much older pianos. Take water and alcohol, mix at two to one or so. Squirt down the action center real good and let sit a day or two (depending on the environment its in). This sizes the action centers. I've done this on some older spinets and consoles that had not been in use for years. It freed up the centers real good with no re-pinning. Use a hyper oiler or something larger if you wish to save time. I used a bottle from a lady Clairol box the last time I did it.

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!
