Rebushing (was Re: Transporting a Grand Action)

[Porritt, David]

I've never rebushed a whole set.  I've rebushed individual shanks when
the bushings came out but that's the only reason.  My feeling is that if
the whole set has been repined with as large a pin as I care to use it's
time for new shanks.  You can't remove a 24 (0.058") pin, replace the
bushing and go back down to a 20 because the flange would be far too
loose.  Repinning is a one way street...... always larger.

When you repin, when do you decide to rebush the flange as well.
Unless, of course, you damage the bushing during repinning, how do you
decide to rebush the entire set?

Thanks for digging that up Scott. I looked but couldn't find my old
pictures. 

 

Marc - if you are interested in doing something like this, it is simply
an used golf cart that I got at Goodwill for $2 and just added two
pieces of wood. It's nice because it is very light weight, folds up, and
is extremely stable - you can go up and down narrow stairs with ease
with this thing - and I think it has quite an air of professionalism.

 

If you or anyone wants some better pictures, I'd be happy to send/post
them.

 

BTW, your words are much too kind - I am very humbled......

		A picture of you carrying the action would be great (or
anyone else that has a grand action readily available).

		 

		Maybe also an upright action.

		 

		Thanks
