A local family bought a nice Baldwin Hamilton for their 15-year-old talented boy to play.  The pelican (or whatever kind) spring screws for the sustain pedal stripped out from the bottom board.  The boy called the dealer and was told was to move it over a little and screw it down again.  Of course it didn't work right, so they (the clients) paid me to bolt it down.
