This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi All, Just thought you might be interested in a repair I discovered.=20 Chickering about 1890 to 1905 ( did not check S# ) with brass rail and = hammer return spring on the hammer butt. This has the chord for the = return spring attached to the brass plate that holds the hammer = assembly. Boy what a contrivance to assemble! Any way, with the plates breaking on their removal and no replacements i = used the little spring with the brass foot Schaff number 1519B ahd filed = the foot down so that it would fit into the channel of the hammer butt where the center pin is. I also had to file some of the wood off of the = channel feet to make enough clearance for the parts to clear. To assemble was much easier than working with the original parts. I wonder how they did it back then?? ( Went on the factory tour of = Yamaha in October ) Wow.
