Hi Tom,<br>
Don't over look squeak's from the damper spoon/ lifter felt, there were a
few problems in this area with that vintage.<br>
Sounds like you also have slow centre's. from rodent activity. Rebushing
and re pinning is the best solution, if you don't want a slew of
recalls.<br>

Baldwin/Hamilton....approx 10years....church
setting.....high humidity.....signs of rats.....jacks hang on hammer butt
upon release, therefore no note repeat<br>
Problem two....squeek....almost positive
capstan/sticker squeek<br>
Solution???? Thinking about 1. damp
chaser 2. polish capstans 3. spray mold
release on balance and front rail pins (just preventive squeeking
solution)<br>
Question: Polish capstans with
WHAT? Should I lubricate sticker felt or capstan and with
WHAT? (mold release....Schaff's whatever??)<br>
Last Question.....any other
solutions...thoughts<br>
Never seen Baldwin sticking, squeeking this
bad...Yes, already tried protec center pin lube.....didn't work.<br>
Thanks<br>
