Yep; they're a major headache when the spring which sprouts from the jack and is a substitute for a modern repetition lever decides to disintegrate. A major hassle when you're there for its once-a-generation tuning (and no spring wire in your kit), but if you've got the action in your shop you might even enjoy replacing the whole set of those springs. Aside from that problem, the action functions reasonably well. How about the pinblock? I'm guessing near to zero torque on those pins, unless they paid special care to the Ampico host-pianos. Have fun, and keep us posted! Patrick
