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.
