---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment Joseph, Fantastic! I'll contact you off-list to see if you'd care to part with some of the springs and a copy of the instruction sheet. Since several folks expressed interest, attached is a photo of the wippen/jack assembly (with the repetition spring attached to the jack) and the hammer assembly, and a photo of the piano (Haines Brothers serial number 78173). I guess you could call the first photo an "action photo" of a 1931 Haines baby grand! 78^) Greg P.S. My apologies in advance if I'm using wrong terminology for these parts. I'm anxious to learn, so please don't hesitate to correct this neophyte!
