Is that actually true? I know that rebushing the flanges is a waste since the contaminants are in the wood of the flange but since the lubricant used was originally in the felt of the flange bushing doesn't replacing the flanges take care of the problem? If not that presumes that the lubricant continues to migrate out of the birds eye and I wonder if it was ever there to begin with. Anyway, I've not tried it but I wonder if anyone has done it that way.

Almost every note is frozen. Never seen such a bad case. Changing the flanges is a waste of time. The vertigris is in the felt and the wood surrounding it. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
