What to do with....

[Brian Doepke]

I have several old aluminum Dammp-Chaser rods and "brains" of the system,
the little brown boxes.  Can they be used anymore?  What can I do with them?
 
Also, I have regularly come across verticals with enlarged holes in the bass
bridge where the string weaves through the bridge pins.  1. How difficult is
it to epoxy the holes   and 2. about how long would it take for such a
repair?  There are about 12 enlarged pin holes.
 
I am aware of the procedure and the need to put the piano on its back,
loosen the strings, slide the strings over, remove the pins, fill the holes,
replace the pins..ect.  What brand of epoxy has been good for this
procedure?
 
I am asking about the time involved so that I can give the client a
"ballpark" cost for the operation.
 
Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge.
