Chuck, Best course of action? Depends. Do you want it to last? Do you want a reputation for excellence? Repin them.

Went to tune a Wurlitzer console today and the owner mentioned a "few sticky keys". Well, at least half the hammers either returned slowly or didn't return at all when I pressed and then released the soft pedal. Took one hammer out and hit the flange with CLP and swung it back and forth until it was free. What's the best course of action (no pun intended)? Repin? lubricate? Is there a quick method for freeing this beast up? Thanks for you help. Chuck R.
