This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Terry, The solenoid rails are mounted on threaded studs screwed into the keybed. The rail mounting bracket has a nut on top and a nut on bottom allowing vertical height adjustment. You don't want to mess with this height adjustment unless you know what you are doing. You can loosen the lower nut; just don't mess with the upper nut. You really don't want to fully remove the solenoid rails, only lower them. Usually just one turn or so of the lower nut will drop the plungers below the top surface of the keybed. Then when you are done, simply tighten it back up and the rail should return to its original location. You might need to make a fore and aft adjustment if the plungers miss the end of the keys when you are done. You'll figure it out. You should probably use a piece of heavy paper or something (wide masking tape?) to cover the slot while you are working over it to keep debris from dropping in the solenoids.

The piano has a PianoDisk CD system installed on it (just the playback feature). I was thinking that it would be easiest to reassemble the back-action outside of the piano rather than with the back-action rail installed on the belly rail. However, it appeared there was no way to remove the back-action while it was assembled - because the PianoDisk plunger thingees (the things that activate the keys) interfere - so I assume it would not be possible to install it after it is assembled. I thought it might be easiest to drop the PianoDisk rail (with the plunger thingees) out of the way for back-action installation. So, the question is: How difficult is it to remove/re-install the PianoDisk plunger rail - and if it is a reasonably thing to do, any tips? My guess is that I could figure it out on my own - I imagine just a few nuts/bolts/screws to remove the thing just drops down (unplug first!) - but I also figure it is always best to ask someone that has done this before. Anyone? Thanks. Terry Farrell ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
