On the white = keys it shouldn't be too hard (well, since it's you doing it and not me) = to extend the mortise, or plug & re-mortise it. Black key mortises as = so much more fragile that it would really be tricky. At what point so = we just order new keys? =20 dave =20 __________________________ David M.

Note the 7=20 original key leads, and the non-original leather key bushings. But=20 why I'm writing is the interesting location of the wear in the key=20 bushing from contact with the front rail pin. The whole set of keys=20 is similar, and under certain circumstances the front rail pins do=20 indeed bind on the front of the mortise. (This explains a few things!) Any ideas out there with regard to what happened? It looks like the=20 mortise is in the wrong place by just over 1/16". Anything else to=20 watch out for? I know, I know -- watch for _everything_. But it=20 probably is just the mortise in the wrong place, right?
