Unusual rib structure?

[Farrell]

I blew the name also (WS&G)! Wendel Nickel & Goss (I think!) is the correct name. I assumed when you said the action was replaced, you mean it was rebuilt in some fashion. Do you mean that you think the whole stack, action rail supports and keyframe (and keys) were replaced? I think with the WN&G action, you will usually see the name stamped somewhere on the action rails - maybe even hidden somewhere on the letoff rail.
