Absolutely. Just the "collets" from a damper head will work (you may have to drill them out to fit over the P.F.G.P.). I used six of 'em on the Acrosonic I just did, to keep them from slipping through their guide rail. I also tied that sticker rail to the main action with two pieces of music wire on the action brackets. Don't tie it too close, though. Otherwise, when you reinsert the action, all the leather-covered-wood-fingers that sit on top of the capstans will fall *behind* the capstans, and it will be impossible to (a) push down all the backs of the keys and (b) lift them all up over the capstans. The only decent fix is to lift and then reinsert the action. Darned difficult to find the four posts the action sits on, too; the dampers seem to be the best guide to docking... --Cy-- ----- Original Message ----- From: David Ilvedson To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 6:02 PM Subject: RE: 1937 Acrosonic action removal If I remember correctly...you need a couple damper heads without dampers. Connect them to the 1st bass sticker to the "pickup finger guide pin" (Merle Mason) and one at the treble end. This will keep the pickup fingers/stickers in the guide rail. Then remove screws holding the "pickup finger guide rail" (Merle Mason) and the action bracket bolt nut (Merle Mason)...the action/stickers etc. should all lift out...you might need to remove some stuff for clearance...
