Baldwin SF-10 grand with acu-just hitch pins

[Porritt, David]

Al:

 

I've only restrung one Baldwin with the accujust pins and that was many
years ago.  The recommendation at that time was to set the plate so that
you could string it with 0 bearing and the strings would be close to the
top of the hitch pin.  Then using the bubble gauge that they would loan
you, you go from bass to treble setting the bearing by lowering the
strings on the hitches.  There is a specific amount of bearing for each
section.  They well might have changed their procedure since then but 20
plus years ago that was generally it.  

 

There are some ex-Baldwin guys on the list and hopefully they can give
you better/more recent advise.

Hi List. I don't want to be a pest, but I really need to get this plate
in the piano. If anyone can help me here, it would be greatly
appreciated. 

 

And no, I didn't take plate height measurements before I remove the
plate. I didn't know they used a floating plate until after I removed
it. That's what 40 years of Steinways and Masons will do to you.

	I have just finished the pin block on a Baldwin SF-10 I am
rebuilding. Does anyone know how to set the plate height on this piano.
I can't get in touch with Baldwin tech support.
