<< The key ends are perfectly aligned with the damper levers. Immediately upon removing the action I could clearly see that the hammers are well left of being centered over the wippens, so much so that the catchers are just making enough contact to do their job.>> Oh! Why didn't you say so? This is simple, the action finisher,(assuming it is all original) didn't align the hammers with the action stop in contact with the keyframe. He put them all over to the left side. Somebody later adjusted the una corda pedal to fit, and the action moved over..... Whatever, I think you could sell an action regulation here and get everything where it needs to go, if the whippens are anywhere near the capstans. Good luck, Ed
