Rebush (or elect someone else?)Alan: Yes I have reeamed and repined old flanges before but not a complete action. Sound like a lot of work to me.

  Got a 1916 Steinway upright that's definitely an oldie but moldy -- all flanges practically seized up with mold in the bushings. Rather than rebushing everything or replacing the flanges (super expensive!), has anyone had success just reaming and repinning?

  BTW previous tech(s) had put large lead weights near the back of all the keysticks (2-ouncers, I'd guess) AND screwed jiffy leads to most of the stickers! Must have played like a Mack truck .... with its power steering broken ...... and both front tires flat .... on a sand dune!
