Phil, Ditto to those who mentioned the bridge cap having a tendency to pull away from the bridge. We just had 2 cases with the identical problem. Pianos were both from the 60's and both had bridge caps pull away from the bridge at the tenor/treble break lifted section. I wonder how many more techs have seen the exact separation in Baldwin pianos built in the 60's.
