Where Can I Buy 7/8 Inch Bridge Pins?
By Larry Mayo

I descided to pull all the bridge pins from the upright I'm working on,
and try the epoxy reconditioning method.  I plan to sand the bridge
flat, fill it with slow set epoxk and drive in new pins coated with
mold release.  Once the epoxy is dry, I will pull te pins again and
sand the bridge flat again in order to remove the high spot where the
epoxy is pushed up by the insertion of the pins.  I will then rub the
bridge with graphite and drive in the pins again.  The problem I have is
that the Schaff catalog only shows 3/4" pins.  I need to find out where
I can get longer ones as the originals are 7/8".  Also, I have measured
the diameter of the original pins at about
.087.  What pin size is this?
