Tilter; Was ca glue as pin tightener (TILTER)

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi, The biggest thing to watch out for is the fit of the tilter to the
piano. If the casters have been replaced with ones that raises the piano
above a normal hight, the toes of the tilter will not catch hold of the skid
board and down comes Jill with a bang.
My tilter has two added  ^ s that grab hold of the skid board.
The only trouble with them is that it is sometimes I have to have someone
else put the tilter under the piano as I lift one side at a time.
The advantage of my adaption is that a belt is not needed to hold the piano
and tilter together ever.
One thing that might work to compensate for the larger wheels would be a 1"
or 1/2" board just a little longer than the tilter is wide and 3" or so wide
