 in 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.
