Have you had any professional training in piano technology? If not, or if you are looking for more, I highly recommend the Randy Potter course. I are a grad-gee-ate. If you want more opinion from me, write me privately. Good luck. If I had any parts I would send them, any old parts I get, I give away at school presentations.
