            I would suggest checking the whippen flanges.  Sluggishness
there will not be apparent unless you remove the whippen flanges from
the rail.  Sluggish flanges will produce the symptoms you describe.

..it's an older one - 1906 to be exact - hammer flange bushings have
been reamed and re-pinned - bridal straps have been replaced.

The reason for doing the work to begin with was because the action was
very sluggish..now, if you isolate just the action without the key, the
action responds fine, but when you use some of the keys, the action
becomes sluggish, especiaally when the dapmer pedal is depressed.

I should mention that the piano is on a dealership floor. 

I have eased both balance rail(not much left there) and front rail
bushings on the worst offenders with minimal to no improvement.

Before I do what I want to do to make this action more playable,
suggestions are warmly welcomed.
