I recently got a retrofit sostenuto rod from WNG for a 1913 Mason & Hamlin BB which had a broken brass post.
One hint - there are small black screws that for one of the adjustments that was difficult to get to with a screwdriver.
Replaced with, I believe M6 (metric) hex screws, and also got a matching hex key.
Attached the key to the interior of the action cavity for the 'next guy' who may need to adjust.
Job is not for the faint of heart... I think I redid the dampers a few times to get it right, but it works.

Dear List
I'm in need of a Baldwin SD 10 Sostenuto rail. Anyone have one laying around? Or possibly for a Baldwin F?
