You?can take the time to replace them all, or just pull up on each one of them. You'll discover which ones were ready to go.

It has the type of wippen where the springs are held in place by a thread. About 10 of these threads are broken. No big deal to fix them, but I'm wondering what to expect in the future. How long can these threads last? Should I go ahead and replace them all, or just fix the 10 already broken and move on? Is it like the old plastic elbows, where once a few start breaking you know they're all going to break? Thanks, David Weiss -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
