I don't agree with the last part of your post "<FONT color=#000000>And when something works, don't look back". I would much rather look back than go back for a free service call. I'll bet you it would have taken you less time to fix it right than go back ???</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=034163618-23102002><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=034163618-23102002><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ask me how I know...</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=034163618-23102002><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=034163618-23102002><FONT face=Arial size=2>Marcel Carey, RPT</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=034163618-23102002><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]<B>On Behalf Of </B>Wimblees@aol.com<BR><B>Sent:</B> 23 octobre, 2002 14:27<BR><B>To:</B> pianotech@ptg.org<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: how lucky can you get<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT lang=0 face=Arial size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF">In a message dated 10/23/02 1:01:58 PM Central Daylight Time, Tvak@aol.com writes:<BR><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" TYPE="CITE"><<I took a pair of needle nose, and squeezed the center pin. >><BR><BR>Can you explain this technique?  I can't visualize this.<BR><BR>Tom Sivak<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR>I reached in between the stickers and bridle strap wires and placed the tips of the needle nose on the center pin of the jack, and squeezed. The only thing I can think of is that the center pin was bent, and squeezing it straighten it out, or vis a versa. Maybe I was lucky. Or, as Ron, said, maybe it was a temporary fix, and I'll get a call next week. But for now, it's working.
