Mike,
<p>If you take the action out, you will probably find that the hammer butts
are the brass plate with screw type. After you have all the center
pins in correct position, tighten all the butt plate screws from the back.
I just did this a couple weeks ago. Simple, and ends the walking
pin situation.
<p>Regards,

Hi All:</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>
I keep running across older Yamaha consoles, mainly schools and churches
that have hammer shank pins that have slid sideways. Often they've
moved so far as to cause hammer wobble and even inoperative hammers.
Because of cost limitations I've been able to pry most of these back into
position and dab a bit of Titebond over the end of the flange to keep the
pin in place.</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>
I know these need repinning, but so far this has worked. Aside from
the metal pin retainers sold to limit pin movement, is there a better
way besides repinning I should consider?</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>
