Hi Joe, Just curious, what criteria do you use to decide if a center is tight enough? Grams? Swings?

Ross said: "Did I hear on the list a while back, that some techs, repin the complete new set, to ensure uniformity?" Regards, John M. Ross Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada John, I've found that most new parts sets require, at least 50% of them, to be repinned to proper specs. There are some manufacturer's goods, that require more in the 90% to 95% to be repinned! I wish it were different, but it's not, so I deal with it and just pass the cost on to the client. Considering that parts costs are a very small portion of the cost of rebuilding/repairing, etc., I just do it. Of course, the anal part of me is mumbling all the while, because we shouldn't have to rebuild new parts to do our rebuilding! O.K. I'm done with my rant.<G> Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
