Lead Tubing Is Crushed Behind the Spool Box
By Bobby Kent

Hello MMD,  I need stints to go in between lead tubing where it was
smashed when the piano fell over!  I have a Behr Bros. player piano
that I was trying to move, and I didn't realize it was so heavy and
we couldn't get it onto the truck bed.

We put it back on the dolly and it fell backwards.  The lead tubing
was mashed into the action frame on both sides of the spoolbox.  Some
tubes aren't not all the way closed but some look too mashed to let
the air through.

Does anyone have any idea how to put a stint in between mashed segments
of the tubing (what to use and where to get it)?  Thanks for any info!
