Patrick asked: "Good Morning: I am restringing a Wegman upright which has a metal pin block and uses specially made tuning pins. I will have to reuse these pins, and unfortunately they are all coated with 100 years of crud. Is there a recommended solvent of some sort that will restore them to a passable condition? Thanks," Patrick, Go to your nearest sporting goods store and get a gun bluing kit. All the chemicals to clean and blue will be in there. Takes a little practice, but works really well, once you get the knack. I do that to many of my rebuilds where nickle plating would not be appropriate. Regards, JOE Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
