Have you check into WNG repetitions? They have lots of different configurations, one might work for you.

I have the set of Tokiwa wippen samples (unfortunately it is missing one of the wippen samples - maybe the very one i need), but none of them match this strange wippen. The wip flange lays horizontally instead of vertical, which isn't a problem. However the jack tip is larger than any of the others. The sample jack that most closely matches the K&B jack is TWR as can be seen in image 2287. However, the balancier is far too long. Sample TWK is the only one that matches the balancier length, but there is a rep spring attached behind the wip flange screw that is lacking in the K&B. All the other wippens are too large: that is, the balancier butts into the hammer rail. TWU-1 and TWU-3 have the horizontal wip flange configuration, but again the balancier is too long. Photo 2286 shows the K&B wippen, and 2284 shows the configuration of the wippen/jack connection, which is old-fashioned and outdated, and not available as far as I know. Regluing the jack is sometimes an option, but not in this case as one jack foot is missing, and the other is broken in 2 places including where the center pin goes through. There are 2 possible solutions as far as I can tell: 1) obtain the proper jack, or 2) cut off the extra wippen tail section of TWK. Option 2 is risky, since I still don't know if all the other specs would match up once I altered it. Any ideas? <IMG_2287.jpg><IMG_2286.jpg><IMG_2284.jpg> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
