<DIV><FONT size=2>OK, that makes sense. I completely removed a =
flange

center pins
between every butt, and assumed it was continguous (don't they do that =
in
Europe?). Since I couldn't get the flange off, I couldn't see any =
way to
get traveling paper in there.</FONT></DIV>

was 1969 according to Pierce. I'll have to check about the Samick
part. Does seem old, now that you mention it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Tuned a 1969 Kohler & Campber (Samick) =
studio
today. Hammers going all over the place, left and right. =
Tried
to adjust one, and discovered each section is pinned with one giant =
flange
pin. How the heck do you travel these hammers? Is =
heating and
twisting the shanks the only option?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It's not one =
giant pin. The
butt plates have been allowed to get loose and the centerpins =
migrate
until--Voila---They are all connected!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> With the action =
on the
bench, remove the whole mess ,separate the butts, push the pins back =
in
place and tighten the plates </FONT></DIV>
