Pianotech

A quick look around, but I couldn't find an exact match.  It looks like Pianotek has a kit, but you'll have to do some plugging and maybe even routing perhaps to make it fit.  It depends on the size

Worst case scenario, it doesn't look too hard to make, though that would be time-consuming and tedious

Does anyone know where I might find a pair of replacement fallboard pivots for the above piano?

This piano is from the 70's.  When the piano was serviced years ago, the previous tooner broke both screws holding the brass pivot bracket to the ends of the fallboard. I needed to get the fallboard off to retrieve pencils and paperclips that were causing multiple action problems.

Despite my best efforts using every resource and plan imaginable I could not remove the broken screws and had to destroy both pivot brackets to get the fallboard off.

I am going to try to include pics in this post.  If that fails, the brackets measure 1" high by 3/4"wide.  There are 2 screw holes that hold the bracket to each end of the fallboard. There is a slot in the bracket that a pin mounted into the bass and treble sides of the piano slides into, allowing the fall to pivot.

I have a pair of  1" X 1/2"  Will get pic in morning and also make sure they are a pair...not two lefts or two rights.

They are yours if you decide that they will work...more in the a.m.

You might try Isaac Sadikursky. He is quite experienced with these problems. Worst case, I looks like the mounts are still usable so maybe file off the broken screws and have the Fallboard just rest like new Kawai styles where we can just lift out the fall boards.
