Repinning....Can I pullease get more responses?

[Michael Gamble]

And - just take the top action. It's smaller and more easily handled.
Re-centring won't require re-regulating - unless you intend doing that
anyway, in which case take the string heights and the whole action inc.
keys.
(and that piece of plastic sheet!)

Personally, I'd take it to the shop. Otherwise how are you going to 
keep all those little
"ends" you clip off from being all over the customers rug? :-) 
Besides, I have a workbench there, etc. and if I'm doing an entire 
set, I also use the long pinning wires which I think would be 
difficult to do in a customers home. MO.

Well, if it's raining, schedule another day. :-) Just kidding. Just 
do as someone else suggested, keep a piece of plastic of some kind in 
your vehicle and cover the action with that while you're putting it 
into your vehicle!
