    Colleagues,

    I am trying to source a replacement bracket (or brackets) for the damper lift rail on an older Young Chang upright (U-111). Please see attached pictures of the broken part. I was able to successfully contact Vincent Choi at Young Chang, but he informed me that this part is unavailable through them. I am hoping someone may have a salvaged YC upright action that they can remove this part from. Or, where else might I look to source this from? 

    Thanks!

    How about this:

    https://www.schaffpiano.com/Upright-Damper-Rod-Hinge-3-8-Wide. 

    It may not be exact OEM, but looks like it might work, even if you had to file the hole a little.

    You'll have to register with Schaff if you haven't already.  I'm not sure that the link above will work without logging into the Schaff website.

    Good luck.

    Check with Mark Purney at Supply88.com. He can 3D print you one with the right measurements. I've already spoken to him about making me one, or a set, for a Samick console.
