Re: Servicing an old buffet

Here's a tip- first take off the old pads... find the ones that are still more or less ok and then get a bit of practise installing them first, before you start messing with the new ones. As they will have the shape of the tone hole on the pad surface they probably won't seal etc - this doesn't matter, just use them to practise using the shellac (low temp wax stuff) and floating them etc without burning the pad etc
Even though you can't seat them properly (the old ones) it'll still be a useful exercise and will give you more skill and confidence when you work with the new pads.
