I dried them = with the heat gun and it seemed to work fine. Now seven years later she wants to = sell the piano and the wippen centers are sluggish again. Part of the problem is = that the console action and keys are so light, that any friction anywhere is = going to keep the action from returning.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I could repin them, but she doesn't = want to spend that much since frankly, the piano is not worth that much.
