<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#008000 size=4>A circa 1940's GOULAY. There was
a butt assy at the break where some guy had inserted an oversize pin and split
the wood of the butt assembly where the flange meets. The problem was that the
angle of the hammer shank was such that the butt was irreplaceable.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#008000 size=4>There was one butt assy that I
had in my plethora that was close. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#008000 size=4>I sawed off the protrusion of the
hole that bridles the bridle tape, reamed the hole in the butt to about a 35
degree angle, used epoxy with a hammer shank shim on the open hole on the
striking side, and it worked beautifully.</FONT></DIV>
