Yesterday on a Samick I serviced, I noticed the dampers were hardly lifting off in the center of the piano. So I removed the action. One of the damper rod pins was loose, not broken (fortunately). I intended to replace it with a Schaff #545 damper rod pin, but these repair pins are not compatible. I filled the hole with CA glue, stuck the pin back in, and it held (I'm not holding my breath as to how long). If the pin had been broken, I'm not sure what I would have done. Does anyone know a source for the Samick damper rod pins? The Samick pins are a larger diameter on the end that enters the rod and a smaller diameter on the other end that enters the hinge.
