[pianotech] Wobbly artist bench

[Anthony Smith]

Thanks Ed and Frank.  I'm going to go take care of it tomorrow.  Armed
with this info it should be pretty easy.

If not any info about the company, maybe some advice or tricks that
could help get rid of the wobble.  BTW, it's the raise/lower mechanism
that has play in it; not just because of loose legs.

The old mafco bences had a center anchor point to hold the long threaded
rod.  You will need to make sure that is firmly attached, which will
often be difficult, since the screws are likely stripped and there is
nowhere to put new ones.  


 
Of course, this may be a good opportunity to sell them a quality Jansen
bench.

It is the perfect time  to do that.  The time it takes to rebuild a
Mafco bench costs almost as much as a new Jansen.
