Yes, the [piano has the spade screw supports for adjusting the jack-stop rail. They seem a bit insecure, and are bent, so that when I turn them, they turn in an eliptical fashion. I think I'll see if I can straighten them, then adjust the rail inward. Taking it off would work, but that would be a major hassle. Bending it the supports would work, too, which is what I think they did at the factory when they regulated it. That's probably why they make a funny rotation when they turn....:-{ Dave Stahl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
