Wondering if anyone has the part I need. I can't find the correct part at any of the major supply houses.

The closest I've found is # 523 or 523SJ page 126 from Schaff. The picture is wrong, as there is a hole in the bottom for a pin to go through for the lifter elbow. I can't provide a link because its the wholesale site.

This part is incorrect in the following ways.

It is full size, not compact, and therefore the jack, bridle wire, and backcheck are too long. These are not deal breakers, but the hole in the bottom is drilled in the wrong place, and the overall length is slightly different. Schaff says the compact version of this is what I need, but it is not available. I can probably make this part work, but it would be better to have the correct part.

Does anyone have any of these to sell me? I'd like 3, since I'm good at splitting the bottom out, and not so good at drilling. Its a high treble, so any or no spoon option is fine.

Thanks, Dan

What kind of spinet is it? Can you get a picture of the whippen you need?

Its an Aeolian, I think its called a Cable of some sort. Its a generic spinet, and the wippen looks like the one I referred to from Schaff, except the jack, backcheck, and bridle wire are shorter.

put one on your scanner and send us a picture please.

I can't provide a pic. It missing, and the action is at the customers house. I did have the Schaff catalog there and talked to them while comparing it to the wippen in the piano and thats why I provided the part # and page.

The whippens you refernced are on the regular upright page. I think the spinet whippens are on another page.

I have a couple of old spinets that I can take a whippen out of easily enough and take pictures to see if they are what you need.

None of the compact spinet whippens are designed for a lifter wire/elbow.They are capsten type.

According to Schaff, the 523/SJ is the only one designed for lifter wire that they have.

My email is linked on my website or you can send a pic to a440tooner at gmail dot com.

Thanks, Dan

With "can't" do you mean "can not" or "may not" or "will not"?

Providing a link is easy as such, and I'd be glad to show the picture from Schaff's online catalog here, if it's a technical hurdle you're battling with.

Dan, sent you an e-mail with a picture.

I did not want to provide a link to the wholesale part of Schaffs' website. It was not a technical hurdle.

Call me old fashioned.:)

Thanks! Thats it. We can no longer buy these.
