Is the keyframe of a late 1950's Baldwin Acrosonic spinet unusual in some way? I wanted to shim up the balance rail on one but was suprised by strange holes with steel in the bottom, and screws in unusual places. I didn't have time to pull all the keys and investigate, but was hoping someone on the list has had an Acro apart and can educate me. Normally, the balance rail in a vertical has four or five screws into the keybed. You loosen them, lift up the balance rail, and slip in some cards to restore keydip and end burbling (aka: blubbering, bobbling, etc.) hammers. Total time: 10 minutes. I pulled up several keys on the Acro and found, well, not what I expected. So I put the keys back and fixed the worst offenders by removing front rail punchings. Any hints for next time?
