[pianotech] Damper leak

[Joe Goss]

Hi Wim
Forgot to add there was plenty of damper follow on most dampers,
And I noticed that there was a heavy wear line on all top damper felt but only spotty lines on the bottom. indicating the need for more contact on the bottom felt.

  I would have sanded the felts.

  Hi,
  Yesterday I serviced a Gulbransen upright with leaky dampers.
  Spotting plastic damper assemblies, my usual damper bending tools were something that might have caused the 40 plus plastic to break 
  so another method of getting the dampers to seat properly was used.
  I actually tried two ways and quickly discarded my wire bending pliers
  as a poor choice in favor of ???????????????? 

  What would you have done?
