CA glue and pinblock cracks

[Alan Barnard]

No way, Jose! Unless that machine has special meaning to someone, I'd say it's time to convert it to a desk or that bonfire option.

Hi all.  Customer has a 109 year old Kimball upright.  (Why do I keep working on these things??)  I’m pretty sure it has a crack along the bottom row of tuning pins and am wondering if a CA treatment would fill in the crack (and pinholes) enough to hold the pitch.  The customer understands that a restringing/new pinblock is what’s really needed (or a bonfire).



Thanks for your help!
