Another tech had gotten her the piano for nothing, and we tried to keep it functional for her until she eventually moved into assisted living after several years. I seem to recall that the metal 'stickers' were pot-metal, and were failing left & right. The chicken piano, we called it!<BR><BR>- Mark<BR><BR><A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:pianotech-request@ptg.org">pianotech-request@ptg.org</A> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE cite=mid:mailman.97.1188250989.3996.pianotech@ptg.org type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Send Pianotech mailing list submissions to <A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</A> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit <A class=moz-txt-link-freetext href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives">https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</A> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to <A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:pianotech-request@ptg.org">pianotech-request@ptg.org</A> You can reach the person managing the list at <A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:pianotech-owner@ptg.org">pianotech-owner@ptg.org</A> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Pianotech digest..." </PRE><PRE wrap=""><HR width="90%" SIZE=4> Today's Topics: 1.

This is the first time I have seen a drop action that could pass for a console because of the 'sticker' configuration. <BR><BR>Attached are some photos. <BR><BR>BTW - the piano was made in 1947, and has plastic hammer flanges and damper flanges as OEM. Some got changed today (grr). <BR><BR>enjoy. <BR><BR>-Phil Bondi(Fl) <BR><BR> <HR width="90%" SIZE=4> <BR> <CENTER><IMG src="cid:part1.04070105.02070206@nhpianos.com"></CENTER> <P><BR></P> <HR width="90%" SIZE=4> <BR> <CENTER><IMG src="cid:part2.01060706.05090602@nhpianos.com"></CENTER> <P><BR></P> <HR width="90%" SIZE=4> <BR> <CENTER><IMG src="cid:part3.09050306.05030809@nhpianos.com"></CENTER><PRE wrap=""><HR width="90%" SIZE=4> _______________________________________________ Pianotech list info <A class=moz-txt-link-freetext href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives">https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</A></PRE></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></body></html>
