[pianotech] Dam that pinblock!

So Ron, what kind of terrible things did you do to pianos in a past life
that you deserve to get pianos like this one?  Is this Bad Pianoma?  :-)

I thought this was cute, so I'm annoying you with it too. This is a pinblock
that was CA'd in an attempt to nurse it along for a few more whatevers. It
worked, at least well enough. The plate webbing holes were filled more or
less level, and there are dried stalactite drips on the block bottom. Looks
like a couple of ounces worth in just the bass. No, I didn't have any
problem getting the plate to separate, and yes, I pulled the plate with the
rest of the pins still in, removing only the bass. I'd never had one this
thoroughly CA dipped in the shop, and thought the plastic collars around the
holes were fun.
