[pianotech] Kimball pedal bracket-Nylon/plastic

[Carlos Ralon]

Claude,
Back in the 70's I was a Kimball dealer and bought the large kit of 
proprietary parts. Much of the stuff is usless but there is a good plastic 
pedal block.  I would like to do what Ron did and use it to make a good wood 
duplicate. I'll look in the kit again..... if there are two you can have 
one.  Some of the Whips have glue faliure and would need restoration. Let me 
know.
Carlos Ralon, RPT
