center repinning question

[Paul T Williams]

I agree, Holly!

I've asked what I thought were straight forward questions, and then it has 
turned into a long discussion or debate, if you will, as to best resolve. 
I agree with previous posts that for the time being, push them in and 
tighten screws, but take care not to disrupt the felt.  then you're in for 
a bigger job! :>)

Holly, I don't think you need EVER be embarrassed to ask a question on 
this 
list!  One of the wonderful aspects of this place is the willingness of 
everyone, vastly experienced workers and beginners alike, to share 
solutions 
and to help those who want to learn. Over the years I've been on here this 

has struck me again and again, and I have learned such a lot.

>From what you say about the pins and the loose hammer butt plates, I'd be 

inclined to do as you suggest, slide the pins back in, and tighten the 
butt 
plates.  The only thing, of course, is to take care that the flange 
bushing 
doesn't get damaged by the end of the pin going back in.  If they're 
gliding 
back in quite nicely, just go for it!

Best regards,

David.
