Hello Frans
The Bosendorfer is # 30606 (1973 1974 I guess, did not look for a stamp,
I will nest time I go)
I will be re-pinning anyway because it seems to be the most stable
repair.
But I will try some chemical (or is it mechanical) cure in a hurry with
Methanol-water, My wish was not to oil the bushing with any product. 
I agree with you Renner flanges seems to be sensible to excessive
moisture, but not always.

Pleased to read from you
Best Regards

Isaac
