Wurlitzer problem

[John M. Formsma]

 Hi Mr. Goss,

Thanks for helping out with this problem. I also wondered whether the bass
pins had been driven in too far. However, I assumed that they must have been
done that way at the factory since they appeared uniform throughout the bass
section.

I'm displaying my ignorance here--but what is CA glue and accelerator?

John,
Sounds like at some point in time the bass pins have been driven in too far
due to looseness.
Three repairs 1. restring all strings (too costly?) 2. remove pin of broken
strings and use five minute epoxy replace pin and pull up to pitch. Be
careful not to drive the pin in too far so that you have the same problem
as you had. 3.  lower the pitch of the string so that you can remove the
string, remove the string and back out the pin three full turns.
With the piano on the tipper use thin CA glue and accelerator. Restring and
tune. Tap in pin if the coil is too far out.
