This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I only wished to specify what my idea of "new action" is. Some so-called new actions I've seen had only new butts and new damper felts. It never occurs to some techs to replace abstract felt or jack springs or even hammer return springs. Replacing damper levers is almost unheard of. I started out replacing the damper flanges only years ago but found it more satisfactory to replace the whole lever. Some "new actions" didn't get all the flanges replaced. I think it is a must. Unfortunately, it is impossible to replace stickers and most of the wippens in actions we restore. If I could find someone to make brand new stickers at the correct lengths or wippens that matched the player wippens found in players, I would replace the complete action. At this time those two items must be kept. Tongues also come in more than one length so often I must keep those as well. Only one length is available from piano supply co's.
