Love me a good project to get some quality time in my shop...especially when it is working on something musical...and seems to be going well 👍🏼
1-Case disassembled and cleaned out (no more acorns or mold ) 😁
2-Harp (tines and tone bars) disassembled, cleaned, reassembled and reinstalled)
3-preamp tested and working well
(Pots feel good, virbrato working well)
4-replacement cheek block and power supply installed
5-pick ups tested, only 1 is bad and is to be replaced 😊
6-key heights checked
7-action (stickiness) checked
8-dampers removed and ready for felt replacements
Still a ways to go, but was fun being able to plug it in and start to hear it take acoustical form 🎹🎶
Tried to upload pics...but jpeg apparently isn't allowed by this forum...
Will try to load them tomorrow
