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.
