[pianotech] Damper leak

[Gerald Groot]

Possibly increased the damper spring tension or, re-aligned the action
studs, cheating a bit.

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?
