List, I recently serviced Wurlitzer console #2827167 which acted unlike anything I've seen in over twenty years. The bass dampers were not damping very well. They stood off a bit from the strings and were inconsistent from one to the other. So I regulated the spoons. That was uneventful. Then I regulated the damper heads individually, seemingly with good results. But after playing for a bit, the dampers returned to their slightly aloof position. I repeated the process, and again after playing they returned to not damping. My past experience has been that dampers stay where I put them. Why did these not stay? I supposed it was possibly because the metal in the wires was too soft to maintain the pressure. But it could well be something else. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you have a solution?
