Well, a local school got a GP 163 several months ago. Seemed OK at the 
1st tuning but when I noted some damper leakage during a tuning last 
week I found the damper levers flanges to be *incredibly* loose. After 
some serious screw tightening everything was OK.
I had assumed the Bostons would have *some* prep work done before 
delivery but I guess they're saving that attention for "real S&Ss" and 
no-discount private purchasers.
Otherwise the few Bostons I've seen & serviced have been pretty decent.
