Re: Epoxy on Tracker Bar Nipples
By Terry Smythe
In a previous Digest I related how a friend of mine in British Columbia crated up and sent to me a pumper player piano stack (piano brand still unknown) that had theoretically been restored by another technician in his area about a year previously. The dominant problem was a ton of epoxy on the tracker bar nipples.
Quite a few MMD members have kindly emailed direct to me some very good suggestions for which I am very grateful. I will be consolidating these replies into a summary message after all is said and done.
In my original post, I appealed for a tracker bar containing sustain and theme accent ports, but failed to indicate that the bar should also contain at each end a pair of staggered tracking ports. It would be nice if the bar also had a soft pedal port, although I'm not yet certain if the piano is equipped with automatic soft pneumatics.
Much appreciate everybody's help.
Regards,
Terry
