Have you already done repinning? Have to assume that you did when replacing 
flanges, damper levers etc.  Just asking because you said that you would repin 
the wobblies when your supplies arrived.  Just in case you repinned the 
offending rubbing parts yourself - incorrect reaming of centers or just worn out 
centers could cause a repinned part to be wildly off.  The jacks are either a 
loose flange or flanges that have been crookedly reglued by another tech.  In 
that case you will have to glue them or reglue depending on the problem.  Hammers 
that hit each other can be loose hammer heads, spacing, travelling, 
incorrectly repaired shanks.  Sometimes the shanks can be just warped and have to be 
burned (heated and moved while still very warm to the touch).  Sometimes it is 
easier and faster to pop the hammer head off, pull the old shank out of the 
butt and replace. TP
