I am in need of some help. My Chickering late "B" does not express
as I am sure it can. It was rebuilt about 10 years ago with, I assume,
all parts rebuilt. Part of the problem is that I can't get the pressure
on either the Treble or the Bass to down to 5.6". The lowest pressure
I can get is 8".
Recently I took the pump apart and found the rubber cloth on the
Amplifier need replacing, it had gotten crunchy. I don't know if the
Pedal Regular was rebuilt, as there is the same rubber cloth "curtain"
there too. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan Bixler
