Rebushing (was Re: Transporting a Grand Action)

The only time I rebush a flange is when the cloth has come out or is damaged, and then only when it's an unusual one, or I don't have a replacement handy. Otherwise I replace the flange.

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
