creeping, so I was expecting a rebushing job and new pin, but wound up
having to replace the jack as well. <BR><BR>Somewhere along the line,
someone had used a #22 or so pin, pretty large anyway, which likely caused
the crack. I did CA the hairline crack in the bird's eye first, which
worked super, however, because the piano had been played with the pin out of
one side of the flange bushing until it couldn't any longer be played, it
had reamed out and deformed the bird's eye hole in the jack so much that
when I rebushed the flange, repinned it, and reinstalled the whippen, the
jack sat severely crooked to one side. I happened to have the proper jack on
hand, so I was able to replace the jack and that worked nicely, but was ever
glad I had the spare jack with me, as I was over 50 mi. from home.
<BR><BR>So, yes, you never know. <BR><BR>If there is a neat fix for this
besides replacing the jack, I'd be all ears! <BR><BR><BR>Richard W. Bushey
