Cast iron can be welded by a competent welder.  I've had cast iron =

  Hello everyone,

  This morning, I had an old action in my action cradle and was working =
on shaping the hammers when the top half of the action came loose from =
the cradle.  I thought it was odd as I knew I had everything snug just a =
minute ago.=20

  As I move up to replace the top half of the action back into the =
cradle, I immediately see what the problem is.  The top action bracket =
(the one at the extreme treble) has completely cracked off.  Now, when I =
replace the action in the piano, there will be no way to affix the =
bracket to the post (since the bracket is now cracked off).  Although =
this piano is probably 75 years old and in bad shape, it is priceless to =
my customer as it was her grandmother's piano.

  What are my options here?

  Eagerly waiting any and all responses!

  Thanks,
  Corte Swearingen
