<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Get the pedal set that is slightly =
longer than the
original and a one piece hanging bracket as well as the different =
heights of
single hangers. The brackets are not that costly and will make a good =
source of
information for future repairs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is always easier to replace with a =
longer set if
there is room and the feel will not change that much like a shorter =
lever
will.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have a problem. I have three =
broken pedals
off of two uprights. One is a Grinnell console built in the =
mid-40's
with two pedals. Both have been broken about 1'' behind the =
horn.
The length of the pedals are 8 1/2" with 5 1/8" from horn to center of =
pin. The other is an old upright, the right pedal broken just =
behind the
horn. Dimensions; 9 1/2" long; 5 9/16" from horn to center =
of
pin. All three pedals have been brazed or welded. What's =
the
chance that they can be repaired and how difficult is it to weld/braze =
them? What about replacing with new pedals? =
None in
Schaff fit the dimensions of either size pedal.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joy!</FONT></DIV>
