Does anyone have a source for the unusual Haines Bros. repetition springs?
This small grand from 1931 has a very unusual action. The rep spring is firmly attached to the jack, and the spring acts as the rep lever. The hammer flange has a drop button with action cloth to contact the spring, and the shank has a butt more like an upright with a notch to contact the spring between the drop button and "knuckle".
I need to regulate the action, but a few springs are already missing, and I'm afraid I'll break more if I adjust them.
Many photos attached.
