[pianotech] WNG jack don't come back no more, no more, no more.....

[Encore Pianos]

Hi Ed:

 

I had this chronic problem about a year and half ago with earlier WNG felt
bushed parts on a Steinway A, and it turned out to be death by a thousand
small cuts - more than one thing contributing to this misbehavior.  I made
copious notes as I wended my way down the winding road, and they are not at
home with me but at the shop.  I'll grab them today and get back to you this
evening with what I found and my solutions.  It sounds to me like you may
have similar issues to mine.

Greetings, 

   Have finally found a rebuild that can use the new space age WNG composite
parts.  However, the jack will NOT return under the knuckle. (Steinway B).
All the geometry looks good, and  I have put more spring in than is
comfortable to play, raised the rep lever until there is a noticeable gap
between the height of the jack, and when I pull the jack out from under, and
let it go, it will not return.  

    This is a problem I noticed on a lot of the Baldwin Renner actions years
ago.  Has anybody with WNG experience dealt with this before? 

Thanks,
