size=2>> Greetings to everyone on the list.I have a couple of =
questions
for<BR>> general comment<BR>> 1.I have seen a
Staib-Abendschein action before,but I may be<BR>> called upon soon to =
work on
one,and I'm wondering if there is<BR>> anything I should know before
starting.The action in question is<BR>> badly out of reg.in the usual =
manner
for an old upright(2 1/2<BR>> blow,1/2 dip,3/4 letoff,?? checking)and =
I'm
hoping that getting it<BR>> back in the ballpark spec-wise will do =
the
trick.Any suggestions<BR>> would be helpful.<BR>> =
2.There is
a local tooner who is in the habit of using WD-40 on<BR>> action =
centers.I
have followed this guy's work pretty often,and<BR>> I'm seeing a lot =
of
"gummed up" actions,I presume from the<BR>> WD-40(customers tell me =
it gets
sprayed pretty indiscriminately).I<BR>> have gotten some relief with =
Pro-tek
and a heat gun,but I wonder<BR>> what the long term effect will be.As =
you may
have guessed,I'm<BR>> gathering ammunition.At the risk of opening the =
floodgates,I'm<BR>> hoping to hear from anyone with info. or =
experience on
the subject.<BR>>

Thanks, <BR>>
