I had two wippens with broken backchecks. On one I was able to drill from below the wire stub, heat the wire with a soldering iron, and drive it out. The other one would not move no matter what, so I drilled a hole beside it and drove in another wire. Not pretty, but it had been done on several others in the action before. Thanks for all your help. Patrick C. Poulson Registered Piano Technician Piano Technicians Guild
