Del,

I don't mean that we should draw a line anywhere. If a piano needs ten
things to be done to it and, for whatever reason, only 5 are
accomplished, I can think of instances where it would be easier to call
it partially reconditioned rather than to list the 5 specific repairs. 

If you say that a certain piano was partially reconditioned, then I 
would understand that more work needs to be done without your needing to
elaborate further.

Interesting to hear about "pads" being used in PTG.
