Hello,

Change them, it is easy and not very long, the new chrome at the base will
add some holding for the worn keys.
The touch will be much smoother with new pins always

I seal the wood with some heavy lacquer, hoping the pins will stay in place
at the balance rail (I've seen some pulling out after a few years.

What other method can be used ?

  Hi Kieth,
                 If they are rusty and pitted, just replace them, it's just
as fast as cleaning them up.   New pins are cheap.

    Has anybody tried turtle wax chrome polish and rust remover on the pins?
I just did the balance rail with it and wow was it fast. I figured it had
properties like tarn-x. They sure are shiny and about as smooth as anything
else I've used. It's suppose to seal and protect the chrome. Is it wax? or
memorax?
