Tom, 

thanks for the advice about transporting.  

As far as the jacks go, they click when the key is depressed. As best as i 
remember, they click almost at the moment the jack toe bumps in the letoff 
button.   
One other thing that i forgot to mention, and this may be significant:

I had somewhat of a difficult time fitting the action into its supports 
properly. Everytime i thought i had it in, several of the keys wouldn't go down at 
all.  But finally when i thought it was locked into place, which is when i 
began checking notes and hearing clicks.  The other problem now, however, is that 
there's suddenly a whole lot of lost motion, across the length of the action. 
 Almost every note has 1/32 or so of a gap between the butt and jack.  So, 
either i didn't notice this before (this is a friend's never-used piano, by the 
way), or i didn't quite return the action properly.  Could this have affected 
the let-off rail forks? 

Scott
