>Just bought the pulley key repair kit from Schaff.  Anybody have any

>Looks basically like it would work.  There's a drill bit to bore a recess
>into the bottom of the key surrounding the elongated balance rail pin hole,
>into which you insert a little wooden donut which has a proper sized hole.

>I seem to recall reading about a method of sawing into the bottom of the key
>on the elongated side of the hole and inserting a piece of veneer to resize
>it...  Whereas I'd probably screw that up, this seems do-able, even for a
>klutz like me.

>Any guidance is appreciated.  I hesitate to proceed further for fear that I
>might irreversibly ruin this plywood-soundboard/no serial #/no name spinet
>piano.

>Just practicing,
