Dear Arlie, you said I took on the job of replacing the plastic parts: complete wippen assemblies, hammer butt flanges, and damper levers with flanges. I fully regulated the action throughout. All went s done, A-61 produced very little v though it had no resistance. Well,It's quite late and I haven't given this much thought ............ However, I suspect your problem is not in the wippen assembly but rather the key itself. It sounds to me like a key that is half broken at the balance hole. AIt is still strong enough to look ok but when depressed bends under the weight of the wippen/hammer assembly. It does play this way,lding the key down behind the balance rail hole and then press on the fromt of the key. Does it bend? CA glue can be a nice qublem. Or regular glue with a longer drying time. Good luck and let us know what you find. Ed Hilbert, RPT
