Ron,

Which Chickering?  When?  Whose action?

Nothing was much "standard" on some of their models, most notably
the "quarter" and "parlor" grands w/ brass action parts.  Still, I think that 
things built after WWI were probably more "standard" than those built
previously.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Horace
