Portland, OR.  I've got a
puzzle on my hands that I hope someone can help me with.

Recently, I was called to service a short 1930's Wurlitzer grand.  I =
needed
to pull the action, so I removed the key slip, which was attached with =
four
screws.  Then I tried to remove the blocks and fall board - but could =
not
find how they were attached to the piano.  No screws from underneath the
blocks or on the diagonal at the bass and treble ends.  The fallboard =
hinges
are only party visible, so I could see no screws there to take out so as =
to
remove the fall first.  I removed the small rubber buttons from the tops =
of
the blocks in hopes of finding screws under them - nothing.  First time =
in
15 years that this kind of thing has happened!
Does anyone out there have an idea?  Any input would be much =
appreciated"

Gee John, if you'd have been at the Portland Chapter Meeting, last =
Monday, you'd already have your answer!
We had a very lively discussion, led by Jeff Hickey, specifically about =
this sort of thing.
