Joe,

That's what I was pointing out.  The actions don't lock into the correct 
position as easily as modern grands.  When I removed the one that I worked on, I 
didn't realize this, but when I go back, I'll make tiny alignment markings so 
that it won't be a problem in the future.  

Thanks for being such a good resource for the instruments,

Dave Stahl
