Thanks for the information's,

A precedent tech heave tried to install Renner hammers, but it was a
really poor job, and now we like to know the rake and drilling angle
for this model.

If possible to buy new heads may be that is the solution we'll choose.

Does someone have the angles and drilling info , just in case ?

Thanks.

Indeed we don't have many spinets in Europe,  so very few it is not
noticeable.
They may be difficult to regulate, but the geometry is may be better
addressed than with an extra reduced action.
