My fix for this situation is to raise the damper upstop rail, lift
the<br>
dampers on each side of the one with a loose lead weight, push the
weight<br>
back into place and then squeeze it with the pliers called shank
knurling<br>
pliers. They will spread the lead weight without touching the wood of
the<br>
damper underlever. These pliers are on page 22 of the Schaff tool
catalog<br>
part # 291. It is a quick and permanent fix.<br>
