[pianotech] hammer return noise

[reggaepass at aol.com]

All rep levers are   just a bit tighter than the jacks - but not much. I will repin one to see if   it helps.
Whether or not it helps your noise problem, in my experience, this has always contributed to the action performing at a higher level.  When I repin, jacks are about the loosest center in the action (1-2 grs.) and repetition levers, the tightest (5-8 grs.).  FWIW.

Gene,
What   happens when you weaken the rep leave spring just to function?  If the   click is still there, you may try to add friction to a rep lever   pinning.  Some friction is important.

I   have not weakened the springs yet but I am amassing a long list from you guys   of things to try today. 
  
As   the whip flanges came separate, I did the pinning and in the process checked   and adjusted as required the jack and rep lever pinning. All rep levers are   just a bit tighter than the jacks - but not much. I will repin one to see if   it helps.
