Hi Clark, I start by removing all dampers. Remove underlever tray. Travel, space and rotate under lever flanges, to make sure the lifters are plumb and vertical. Next size the guide bushing with a bridge pin. I heat the bridge pin in a pin vice and iron the guides. Then start correctly bending the wires. Carefully check the centering of the damper guide rail and check that it is tight. I have found more than a few that are loose. The problem is being addressed at the factory level. regards Roger At 09:52 PM 2/8/01 -0500, you wrote: >List, Can anyone enlighten me as to why every new Wurlitzer Grand I prep >has leaking dampers, with the heads all leaning to the right in the bass? > A local guy here said that they do this on purpose, but I can't figure >out why.
