[pianotech] Interesting Find

[John Ross]

 Speaking of replacing the lead tubing.
I bought reducing nipples the first time, but after that I just got some 
brass tubing from a hobby shop, cut it to size and glued it in.
Worked fine.
I might have drilled the holes larger.
Mind gets 'fuzzy' after a while.

In the player rebuild business you really DON'T expect to see this kind
of stuff.

On a Hobart Cable, that the customer said they rescued from an old barn,
had some sort of nut shells and mice nests - nestled - in the piano and
player action.

BTW, This is way you should ALWAYS replace lead tubing - look at the
white powder and the lining of the tubing.
