<HTML><BODY> <div> Thanks Patrick and everyone else.  I think Paul's suggestion of bridle tapes on catchers might be a good one, but I tend to think, as Patrick suggested, it's something really weird that I won't be able to get to the bottom of until I pull the action--which may never happen, because one's a rental, and one belonged to some really cheap rich folks.  <br> <br> <br> </div> <div> </div> <div style="clear: both;">Dave Stahl, RPT<br> <br> Dave Stahl Piano Service<br> 650-224-3560<br> dstahlpiano@sbcglobal.net<br> http://dstahlpiano.net/<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </div> <div> </div>  <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: jpdraine@gmail.com<br> To: pianotech@ptg.org<br> Sent: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 2:25 PM<br> Subject: Re: Baldwin spinet "lost motion" issue twice in one week....<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_0_106636c1-34d4-44f2-9ca5-4e36bf4b40a1" class="AOLPlainTextBody"> On 3/30/07, Marshall Connolly <<a href='javascript:parent.ComposeTo("falcone1132%40tmlp.com", "");'>falcone1132@tmlp.com</a>> wrote: <br> > <br> > Rather than pulling the action <br>  <br> Why avoid it -- unless it is because you're already late for the next <br> appointment. In which case, schedule a call back, or call all the <br> other customers because you're going to be a bit late ... <br> Pull that action and remove the wippen. My bet is the flange has over <br> 10 grams of resistance. Check the jack and hammer flanges too. Repin <br> as necessary -- you're in this deep and Protek isn't a definite fix! <br> Oh, I've had a couple Hamiltons with a similar symptom -- turned out <br> the plate strut was cracked & expanded outward, interfering with the <br> back of the wippen! <br> Good luck! <br> Patrick <br> </div>  <div class="AOLPromoFooter"> <hr style="margin-top:10px;" /> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
