HELP loose lever posts

[the closet concertinist]

Hey, I’ve recently acquired an Anglo Wheatstone that sounds like it has done its fair share of travelling and been around for a bit. I’ve been having an absolute blast with it but I am starting to run into an issue. The “posts” (I don’t know if that’s correct terminology) that hold down the spring and lever of the button are starting to work their way loose as I play. Sometime it’s just a little bit of air that leaks but today one spring and lever came completely out of its anchor. 

  Any suggestions? 

Thanks!

I use a tiny drop of Krazy glue or the Locktite equivalent (Cyanoacrylate).Put a drop in the wooden hole and insert the post. Works every time.

@Jody Kruskal thanks for that!

Just be careful to use a tiny drop, like the amount that would bead up on the point of a pin.  The stuff wicks like crazy and can flow between the lever and post, freezing them up.  If the post is out of the hole when you start, you are pretty safe.

it does work really well.
