Damper Lift Problem

[Conrad Hoffsommer]

Avery,

  I just pulled the action out of a Duo-Art S&S M (player long 
gone...).  The brass pitman is enough smaller than the hole in the keybed 
that there is a LOT of variation possible in angle.

If I pulled the top of the pitman toward me, the tray moved easily and 
quite far.  If I pushed it back, the pedal became VERY heavy and hardly 
lifted the tray.  Unfortunately, I've deleted your original post, but 
shifting that pitman that way sure gave an instant global lift change.
