  Or is there some sort of slick
> solution out there that I'm not aware of?

You're aware of this one, but it might be worth the trouble. 
Inlay a maple strip over the balance rail pins and relocate 
them to line the capstans up with the wippen rail. Not a heck 
of a lot more trouble than relocating capstans - maybe, and 
you ought to have new key pins anyway. First though, how do 
the key ends currently line up with the damper levers?
