Hi Vinny, Thank you for the helpful information. Sorry it took me so long to write back. I just got in. I had lunch with a friend earlier. I'm tuning his Hennry Miller spinit tomorrow. I then went to our only music store and found two old pianos in the back outside ready for the trash heap. I took the actions out and now I have three actions. I'm hoping to learn repairs etc with them. I've never seen a hammer rail that looked like metal. I also haven't seen a plate that was green instead of the usual brass color. Thanks again for the information.
