As someone else also mentioned, often these old trays are warped from the end location of the spring.

Trix & I are now offering Back action assembly services to the trade for Tokiwa & Renner back action kits with these manufacturers blessing...for those who do not wish to do this but need to replace a system. Inquire off list Thanks Dale Erwin www.Erwinspiano.com > Haven't used the Renner kit myself... but one thing comes to mind... any > reason why you couldn't just refurbish the origional tray and subsitute it > for the Renner tray using the rest of the kit as is? > > Cheers > RicB > > Ric, The original tray is badly warped from the resistance of the leaf spring installed at the treble end - I will modify this. The factory job made a bit of a mess of the original tray and if it were straight, I would not like to have my name on it even if it is hiding in the rear of the action cavity. Also I have sold the job and purchased the kit, the installation of which is near complete. Gene _____ McCain or Obama?
