[pianotech] wurlitzer parts

[Kerry]

Hi Marshall,

Anything's possible in a school setting. If the pin had been wobbly for a
while, it could have deformed the hole. You can repair the hole by gluing
floss or silk cord in place and repining with a new flange; the birdseye can
be sort of replaced with a section of round toothpick flattened and glued on
one side and graphited (before anybody flames me, these are just put forward
as temporary, quick-and-dirty repairs while you find the parts needed :-/ 

 

If you can't get parts that fit, you can drill a hole and install the spoon
in #88 as suggested.

Hi John,
That was my thinking as well, borrow c88s wippen.  I want to be certain the
spoon goes in the same direction.  Have you guys ever had this occur,
pushing in the center pin and the piece of th e birds eye breaks?  
 
I'm curious too how would a birds eye hole become slightly elongated or out
of shape on the outer edges?  On a different piano, a school piano, I had to
put in a huge center pin to make it hold, but still isn't tight like it
should be in the birds eye.  I'm still awaiting a response from the schol to
see if they have pianos I can pull parts from.  If they do not, any ideas on
where to obtain action parts for Wurlitzer school pinaos woudl be great.
Thanks
Marshall
