Una Corda Problem in Seiler Grand

Hi List,

I went out on a warranty job yesterday.  The objectives were to a). fix a 
sticky key and b) tune the piano.  The sticky key was caused by a toy model 
of those wings that commercial pilots wear on their blazers getting wedged 
between C 5 and the action bracket.  No problem.  Remove offending wings, put 
action back in, tune, check pedals.  The una corda doesn't work.  Take action 
out several times trying to figure out why it isn't working.  

Looks to me like the shift lever has chafed part of the wood on the edge of 
the keybed slot.  The lever slips right under the action.  

Went out again, tried to shift action a little bit so the lever would grab.  
I carefully tried to rebed the frame, but it did not help, so I put the bed 
back into its original setting.  45 minutes later, a frustrated tech left the 
house, problem unsolved.

It seems to me that the end of the lever that pushes on the action is not 
quite long enough to do its job.  It's a brand new piano, and it was working 
fine before I removed the action, according to the owner.  Any ideas?  Help!!
