are on one old upright with a severely damaged pin block. In the situation
you've described, i.e., a block good enough to respond to oversize pins, I've
never had CA not work, even on pins as loose as you are describing. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I might add, that even on that old upright
with severely damaged block, I’ve been able to keep it going. It is no
fun to tune, and it barely holds, but it does hold. I had to apply CA a couple
of more times to the bad pins, but haven’t had to add any more for 3 or 4
years now. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
