[pianotech] wurlitzer grand action brackets

[Paul McCloud]

Why not post a pic of the brackets?   The older ones looked more like cast
iron, as they are not smooth, and they were heavier.  Check carefully for
cracks, bulges, paint peeling, etc.  Is the keyframe bedded?  There was
some discussion on another thread about the shift lever getting caught
under the frame by somebody with a lead foot.  Worth a look.
