[pianotech] Agraffe abuse

[Delwin D Fandrich]

I've seen a fair number of torqued out pieces but that squashed one looked
like someone got even more creative than usual.

That was my first impression with the squashed one. But the squashed one is
also torqued out of shape as are a half dozen or so others with no
squashing.

There is plenty of evidence of incompletely threaded stems and resulting
damage in the agraffes pictured in the jars, but nothing like the top damage
of the current set.
