Hello everyone. I recently purchased the whip assembly rebuild kit from vintage vibe. http://www.vintagevibe.com/p-716-wurlitzer-electric-piano-whip-assembly-rebuild-kit.aspx
So, now that I have the action out of the piano and I'm able to pull out the whips one by one, I want to put the new springs in. My old springs aren't bad, but I figure hell if I spent 15 bucks on new ones might as well throw them in.
Anyways, it seems pretty tricky as the old springs are glued in on one side. Unfortunately vintage vibe doesn't have a video that details spring replacement. I was wondering if any of you have experience with smoothly swapping them out. What is a good method for it? Glue solvent? but then I need to clean it out for new glue and I don't know it just seems like a mess. Its a pain enough just scraping those old felts off, jeez!
please make some suggestions even if you haven't done it yourself, because I don't now how to attack this
