In stating this, I am assuming that the = capstans are threaded underneath the parellel grooves. If not, then = option 2 isn't available. 1. Replace the capstans altogether with the proper ones. I would use = this method. Be advised that when you change designs, you must watch = the variables. For example, if these capstans are too long and the new = ones are short, you might need to add a small wooden block or something = to get the new capstans within a working distance. Also, when selling = the customer, you need to educate them that this design was done away = with because it didn't work well. 'Antique lovers' tend to struggle = with this concept, but they can be won over. The adjustment tools = aren't made anymore. =20 2. Some of the modern hand tool manufacturers make a small tool to = change parts with. For example, I own a small Makita handheld metal = grinder. You can buy them for about $75. Makita sends a small wrench = to change out the wheels with. The wrench has a crescent shape head to = it with a small tub sticking out on one or both ends. If the tools is = small enough, it could be used to grab the capstan and turn it. To go = the other way, simply turn the tool upside down. I'm pretty sure by = taking a trip to a better hardware store, you can find something that = will work. =20 Ron =20 ----- Original Message -----=20 From: John Ross=20 To: pianotech=20 Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 1:13 AM Subject: Fw: Emailing: DSCF0017 Hi List, I can't figure out, how to adjust lost motion.
