Hi Gregor - somehow you got your authors mixed up - I had wrote in that I removed a fallboard from a Yamy spinet, but not the action. However, come to think of it, I think that I did have to remove the action. I don't remember how long it took, but don't those actions have the separate sticker rail for the key capstans like the old Acrosonics and Wurlys? If so, they really come out relatively easy - just watch those low tenor damper felts as you remove it. And if there is not enough money for that task, you are not charging enough!
