Hi Tom,
Another item to check is the condition of the wippen heel. If it has a =
deep dimple in the felt, steam and then iron dry and possibly light =
sanding. Follow up with teflon powder. You may have to regulate some =
lost motion.
Also check the key bushings for any wear as a dimple there in the felt =
can also stop the key from returning especially on the dogleg keys.

  No.  Thanks, I'll check that out.  I never really looked at them.

  Yeah, I was thinking about that.  I thought I Proteked the entire =

maybe I skipped that.  Another dose wouldn't do any harm.=20
