Re: Is it fixable

["Chris Hammond" <dawgawntired@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, try number one failed, but I felt like I was pretty close.  I replaced a 
2 draw reed on a D Golden Melody with a 2 draw from another D GM.  I used a 
machinist V block and knocked out the old rivet with the end of a tiny drill 
bit.  When I set the new reed in there, I couldn't get the rivet to seat 
firmly and the reed would move around a bit as I tuned it.  Maybe I need a 
new rivet or a tiny sheet metal screw as opposed to the rivet.  Any helpful 
hints? One interesting note is I found an ancient D GM from before they held 
the reed plates in with screws.  The rivets were slightly bigger in size.
