[pianotech] D5 damper problem on a Wurlitzer grand (1962)

[Marcel Carey]

First, I would like you to sign your posts. This is kind of basic.

 

For your problem, I think that you probably will have to remove the sustenuto, unscrew and lift the damper stop rail, and remove the flange to repin. This is probably a Wurlitzer made by Young Chang or Samick, and I've seen many that had that problem. Thank God it wasn't generalized and happened more with hammer flanges. You could try the protek first, but from my experience it makes it worse. It's up to you. Do you absolutely want to get the call back for the note that you had fixed... or do you want to fix it right?

 

Repin is my answer for a sure fix.

I came across a D5 damper problem on a Wurlitzer grand – tried Protek first (didn’t work), then pulled the action & found that the damper wouldn’t drop back into place – it hangs (up).
 
The sostenuto bar runs across the back action & looks like it would prevent me from removing the flange & lubricating it (if that’s even the issue or the proper solution).
 
It’s a Wurlitzer 5’10” grand model C153  s/n 763339 – looks like 1962 is the manufactured date according to my piano atlas
 
Any thoughts would be helpful.
