I very rarely replace broken action parts any more. CA glue or epoxy can fix just about anything. It is usually easier to do this than stock parts, search catalogs, wait for new parts to be shipped or search through all the boneyard parts. Terry Farrell has posted pictures in the past showing some pretty amazing repairs he has made to action parts with epoxy- completely building up areas where material was missing. </SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV><o:SmartTagType namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PostalCode"></o:SmartTagType><o:SmartTagType namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="State"></o:SmartTagType><o:SmartTagType namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="City"></o:SmartTagType><o:SmartTagType namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"></o:SmartTagType> <OBJECT id=ieooui classid=clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D></OBJECT> <STYLE>st1\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#ieooui) } </STYLE> <STYLE>  </STYLE> <DIV class=Section1> <P class=MsoAutoSig><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 22pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'Bradley Hand ITC'">Dean</SPAN></B></P> <P class=MsoAutoSig style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="COLOR: navy">Dean May             cell 812.239.3359 <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoAutoSig style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="COLOR: navy">PianoRebuilders.com   812.235.5272 </SPAN></P> <P class=MsoAutoSig style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on"><SPAN style="COLOR: navy">Terre Haute</SPAN></st1:City><SPAN style="COLOR: navy"> <st1:State w:st="on">IN</st1:State>  <st1:PostalCode w:st="on">47802</st1:PostalCode></SPAN></st1:place></P></DIV> <DIV> </DIV><BR> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left> <HR tabIndex=-1> <FONT face=Tahoma size=2><B>From:</B> pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] <B>On Behalf Of </B>Al Pebworth<BR><B>Sent:</B> Wednesday, December 27, 2006 2:48 PM<BR><B>To:</B> Pianotech List<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: Punchings for .157 pins<BR></FONT><BR></DIV> <DIV></DIV>Does anyone know if there is a current source for to replace a broken whippen on a Wurlitzer Spinet?<BR><BR>Schaff says no luck.<BR><BR>Anyone have a spare from a junker?<BR><BR>Al Pebworth<BR>Pebworth's Player Pianos<BR>Chesapeake, Va<BR>http://www.pebworths.com </BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
