Here is a crack in the frame of the 1912 "B" I mentioned some time ago. You will notice it runs from the screw-hole along the strut on one side, and to the first tuning-pin of F2 on the other. My hunch is that I will find a void in the pin-block fit when I tear-down, and perhaps loosening the screw may close the gap somewhat. (?) Nonetheless, this is a new experience for me. I would appreciate some assurance that this crack will not cause future worries (given a good pin-block fit), and also advice on how to cosmetically fill/repair the crack such that it won't reappear and spoil the new plate finish. (I would also like full guaranteed income, indexed for inflation for the rest of my days, and to work only for the sheer thrill of it... why not?! :>) Thanks in advance, and also to Trevor Nelson, RPT (Boulder, Co.) for providing such a good photograph. sincerely, Mark Cramer, Brandon University Photo: https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/files/attachments/c7/bf/3f/6f/image.tiff Alternate URL: http://tinyurl.com/y6sj
