Sure sounds like an angled upper section key with a worn center bushing to
me. Have you tried using a flat-ended needle file to smooth out the sides
of the socket that is worn into the felt? Of course, if you had a small
chisel, you could pop out the bad felt and put new one in there and charge
it to misc. repairs. What'cha think?<br>

either friction or worn bushings or tight bushings or action parts that
are too light, or another way of looking at it -- they keys need a little
weight between the balance pin and the capstan.<br>

Hi,<br>
I am just coming in the back door of this thread,so I might be repeating
something,or off base.When I'm checking sluggish problems,I first check
the key, taking the action out of the equation,by lifting up the whippen
off the key,and the reverse,checking action centers,by taking the key
out of the equation.<br>

<div><font face="arial,helvetica"> It's not so much a problem of sluggishness
as that of the key not coming all the way back up. If the action pinning
is within reason and the key bushings aren't worn or too tight, I use
Jiffy leads -- usually as close to the key button (on the back side) as
possible. They're manufactured for a reason. What else do you do? For
one or a few keys, now -- we're not talking about re-weighting the whole
keyboard. You do that if there's a lot of them not returning and the
player will notice the difference and can afford it. --Dave Nereson,
