We install tons of PianoDisc systems which require major overhaul of the
original trapwork for installation. Everything except the shift lever
is removed and replaced with retrofit parts. Over the years for whatever
reason we have been saving most of the parts we remove. The end result
is that we have a couple of huge boxes overflowing with trapwork levers.
Not long ago we disgarded several additional boxes due to space.
We have all kinds of trapwork levers from a variety of different pianos.
Levers, pitmans, pull thingys, push thingys, up thingys, down thingys,
and hundreds of springs. I may be able to provide you with something
that will fit.

<font size=-1>List,</font> <font size=-1>I
am attempting to rebuild a 1920's 5' George Steck that is missing all sostenuto
linkage between the pedal rod and pitman. I'm unable to find replacement
parts or pictures of the original replacement. (Thanks to you all
who looked for me a while back.) So. . . it appears that I need to
design some parts. Being a novice yet, I have a few questions:</font> <font size=-1>1.
What kind of pin should be used? what diameter? should it be
plated? (I can't find anything in parts catalogs.)</font> <font size=-1>2.
What kind and size of felt is generally used in the bushings and what is
the relationship of hole diameter in the block versus the pin diameter
and felt thickness?</font> <font size=-1>3: Any thoughts on
the spring rate of compression spring to be used? Any good sources
to purchase these?</font> <font size=-1>Sorry if these questions are
too basic. If you have other thoughts or concerns I'll be happy to
get them. Thanks all.</font> <font size=-1>Mark Ultsch</font><font size=-1>Madison
