Piano manufacturers have repair and regulation books. Unfortunately, the 
piano models you mentioned have not been made for a long time. So finding the 
specific tech books on each one of those instruments is going to be very 
difficult. 

However, in general, although there might be some very detailed differences 
between the actions of the pianos you mentioned, they all basically work the 
same. For me, part of the "fun" of working on pianos is trying to figure out 
how to make adjustments and repairs on pianos with which I am not familiar. 
By using the basic understanding of how the piano works, I am usually able to 
figure out what the problem is, and fix it. 

So use what you know, and apply it to the particular piano on which you are 
working. If you have a specific problem, get on the list, and get the answer.
