[CAUT] practice rail

[Jim Busby]

Fred,

Schaff used to sell a "Rinky tink" conversion with a flexible hand pull on/off thing. About $30-40 as I remember it. You can glue felt on instead of the button rail thing. It comes with the rail, pull cord thing, and rinky tink strip.

I've done it from scratch but I had an old lever from some player junk laying around that worked. There's probably something better out there that someone will write about, but at least this is a start.

Best,
Jim

        A customer has asked me to install a practice rail (muffler felt). I
haven't done this retrofit before. I see Jansen has one. Are there
others? Any advice, comments?
