Baldwin spinet "lost motion" issue twice in one week....

[piannaman at aol.com]

  Thanks Patrick and everyone else. I think Paul's suggestion of bridle tapes on catchers might be a good one, but I tend to think, as Patrick suggested, it's something really weird that I won't be able to get to the bottom of until I pull the action--which may never happen, because one's a rental, and one belonged to some really cheap rich folks.

 Why avoid it -- unless it is because you're already late for the next 
 appointment. In which case, schedule a call back, or call all the 
 other customers because you're going to be a bit late ... 
 Pull that action and remove the wippen. My bet is the flange has over 
 10 grams of resistance. Check the jack and hammer flanges too. Repin 
 as necessary -- you're in this deep and Protek isn't a definite fix! 
 Oh, I've had a couple Hamiltons with a similar symptom -- turned out 
 the plate strut was cracked & expanded outward, interfering with the 
 back of the wippen! 
 Good luck! 
 Patrick
