the Schaff tool works fine, but I had to go to a specialty hardware store some
distance away to get the screws (you can probably find them online nowadays
- gotta love the internet :-). And I second whoever said that the
screws are different lengths – measure them all before you order them. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> There
was a recent discussion about Wurlitzer console action problems. My
customer has a sluggish action, where the slightest amount of friction upsets
the balance, and the key, won't return. Also, someone sprayed
something on this action thats softened the wood. Many of the wippen
flanges are loose and you can wiggle the wippens side to side. I
took a flange off to repin it, and the flange split in two while I was removing
the pin. I blame whatever was sprayed everywhere on the wood.
Its also made the a! ction centers sticky. I may have to add
weights somewhere before all is said and done. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> But
thats not my immediate problem. I need to replace the action screws
which broke off inside the piano. You know the ones- theyre
buried behind the plate. I got the new Grab-It kit from the local H.D.
and I found a Wurlitzer screw remover in the Schaff catalog.
Anybody have any luck with this? I also need the screws. I did find
some lag bolts that are the same size, which Ill use if I have to.<span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
