Well, heck. Clearly the whippens are too high. It could be something 
under the back of the keys but not on all of them. Could be the hammer 
rest rail, but the shanks are high off of it. Could it have a flange 
rail for the stickers, sitting over the capstans, that has dropped down 
onto the back of the keys? Usually those are pinned as well as screwed 
in, but I gueass it's possible.  Or a whole chain of pencils stuck in 
the same place? I'm having trouble picturing the whole situation and 
probably missing something very obvious....
