Sarah,
About the regulation (hammers bouncing). Depending on where the Hamilton =
was, the hammer butt buckskin where the jack contacts the  hammer butt =
becomes worn after many years of playing.  If the regulation is set to =
specs without repairing that buckskin, there is an indentation in the =
buckskin that the jack can not escape and that causes the "bouncing" =
action. That is the reason the in can't be regulated properly. Look at =
the buckskin of a new hammer butt and compare it to the hammer butts in =
your Hamilton, you will see the wear. OR if a butt or two didn't have =
the jacks centered on the buckskin, you can see the ridge left on one =
side or the other and then you can compare how much wear is visible.
