Scott,

I once did some regulation on a Hamilton upright that has hard, synthetic 
butt covering material--aka Corfam.  I adjusted the letoff pretty close to the 
string, but then all these clicks started happening.  The aftertouch I'd removed 
by regulating the letoff that caused the jacks to not move far enough away 
from the butts, so that upon release, they slapped back on the Corfam.  Ugly 
sound, and it took me awhile to figure it out.  I don't know if that's your 
problem, but it's worth a looksee.
