<DIV>Gordon,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm working with another tech in rebuilding a similar action from 1890. Ours has not been char-broiled :-).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In the first picture you sent, I noticed the hammer rest rail felt very wide. Looking at photo 3, I notice that the rest rail felt is not original, and almost drags on the hammer tails. The felt I removed was only 3/8" wide, and a little taller than what is in photo 3, and does not cover the wippen flanges. It is also very soft, not like the backrail-type material shown. I'm not sure what we're going to use to replace it. Maybe Jurgen will have something up his sleeve.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Dave Davis, RPT</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR><B><I>gordon stelter <lclgcnp@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><BR>Note: forwarded message attached.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>__________________________________ <BR>Discover Yahoo! <BR>Stay in touch with email, IM, photo sharing and more.
