It would help if we knew which spinet drop action needs to be removed. I've only removed the keys once or twice, too much work. For the old Baldwin acrosonic I take the last two dampers off their wires and place on the bass and trebble lifter rod posts above the bushed rail that holds them in place. This way everything stays in position as you carefully lift out the action. On the newer Baldwin spinets with the metal fork at the rear of the key. One can carefully remove all the donut and wire assemblies from the forks and place the donut on top of the fork. Then very carefully ease the action up out of the cavity, letting the wires flop over onto the key cover. For reinstalation I set the action on the back of the key cover, make sure no wires are crossed then carefully slide the action back so that the wires land in the forks. Finally don't forget to replace all the donuts in the forks. (Don't Ask!)
