<DIV align=left>I agree, a little titebond applied with a=
toothpick or such and you have a good repair. I=
wouldn't have a problem with a drop of CA to all the rest to=
help solidify them for the time being...</DIV>

<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR>Cy asked: "<FONT=
face="Times New Roman" size=3> why are those =<BR>jacks made in=
two pieces to begin with? Is it just so they can fail in=
=<BR>a repairable way if regulation is off (too much=
aftertouch)?<FONT face=Arial=

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Being the maker of obsolete action=
parts, I can say the Jack is the most difficult item to make.=
(just close your eyes and try to imagine how that configuration=
is cut!) It's made that way, because it's better,=
IMO</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW, I hope you are prepared to=
replace those jacks, as in fairly soon, as CA doesn't last very=
well in Stress applications. Please don't do that anymore. I=
don't care if it is in some PTG manual.....it's a bad way to=
repair something like that! Especially in a high end piano!=
Yikes!</FONT></DIV>
