Hi Gary:
You might un-pin the broken sticker from the wippen and pin the sticker from the good one (C8) to it. I don't think there's a bushing there, just a hole for the pin, so it should be easy to remove and replace the pin. As for a replacement sticker, we'd need some measurements like length and distance between the holes on it. I see in my Pacific Piano catalog that there are adjustable stickers for sale where you can fashion a custom replacement. You can call them 818 700-2100 and ask about them. My shop isn't nearby, but it's possible I might have a replacement. I'd have to check later, but need your measurements.

I recently broke the sticker on an old full upright. I was putting a key back in when it happened. I've searched through all my parts inventory and don't have a replacement. I was wondering if I can purchase a similar one from somebody, or if someone has a work around or repair advice.
This came from the middle of her piano. While at her home, and after having broken it, I switched it with the whippen from C8. But of course the C8 whippen has no spoon. So she is able to use the key but can not raise the damper while using it. My intent was, and this is what I explained to her, as a temporary remedy while I repaired this broken one.
Thanks.
