---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I finally got around to working on a 30 y/o Wurlitzer console which I took in on trade 6 months ago. I put it off for as long as I could :-) There was creaking emanating from the damper and hammer springs. I've used a sharp pencil before but I didn't have one long enough for this job. I started with a wire dipped into DAG and swabbed the punching, it worked fairly well. Then I got the idea to use an umbrella stave to administer the DAG to the spring punchings. This worked really well. I closed the tip to fit into the punching better and it acted like a quill pen for delivering the material to the area. Dipping each time into the DAG for each punching. There were still a few noisy ones after applying DAG to both sets, so I went over them again dry at more of an angle. This time I could feel the surface crust on the punchings. After this second pass all is quiet. Had I applied the DAG with the tool at a more of an angle thereby raking the punching surface I might have avoided the second pass although I think it is still a good idea to somewhat burnish the surface following application. Today started out well, let's hope it gets better...
