Thanks for the info on the right repair, Joe.  I felt I had to fix them =
because the piano was unplayable (and untunable) the way it was.  I'll =
order the replacements... and think about the rule of six, eh?  (Three =
down, three to go...)

  Cy asked: " why are those =3D
  jacks made in two pieces to begin with?  Is it just so they can fail =
in =3D
  a repairable way if regulation is off (too much aftertouch)?"

  Cy,
  Being the maker of obsolete action parts, I can say the Jack is the =
most difficult item to make. (just close your eyes and try to imagine =
how that configuration is cut!) It's made that way, because it's better, =
IMO
  BTW, I hope you are prepared to replace those jacks, as in fairly =
soon, as CA doesn't last very well in Stress applications. Please don't =
do that anymore. I don't care if it is in some PTG manual.....it's a bad =
way to repair something like that! Especially in a high end piano! =
Yikes!
