Rarely are all 228 tuning pins too loose. Why not drill and CA glue only the areas which are bad? It's not like no one would ever be able to do some of the others later, should they need it. Nor does the job require a whole lot of gear. One drill with bit, an extension cord, and one small bottle of CA glue ... Why not do it piecemeal? Are you dedicated to the idea of always doing THE WHOLE THING because of love of CA fumes? You can't reach the proper concentration for pickling your liver treating only the bad areas of the block? Or maybe you just like to spend hours and hours on a job like this? Get the bad ones, and maybe a few neighbors of bad ones; you might not need to do more for a decade or longer. Susan Kline
