I worked on a grand today that has the same problem with the coils pounded into the plate bushings. I had to detune the strings to unwind the coils sufficiently so that the strings came away from the pins. This created a gap through which I could apply the CA to the base of the pin. This is the first time I have resorted to the CA treatment. I Doped the pinblock with the usual Pintite a couple of weeks ago - but it didn't %@*+^% work, even after four applications. By the way. a syringe doesn't seem to last very long while using it to apply CA. Leaving you in pieces. AF.
