I had a Chinese made Hobart M. Cable grand af couple of weeks ago, that had a key that would stick after it had been played for 15 to 20 minutes.  Even then it would not be sluggish every time it was depressed.  I pulled the action and noticed the jack did not seem to return correctly now and then.  I re-pinned the jack and it seemed to take care of the problem.  Not sure, but I'm thinking there was a microscopic burr on the old pin. I've heard of these, but first time I've encountered it, if that is what it was.

Guess a small microscope in the tool case would be in order. : >)

Ron Alexander
