If the holes in the plate are the same size top to bottom (newer Baldwin
plate holes are narrower at top and flare out to bottom), you can drill out
the plate holes to accept the modern narrower plate bushings supply houses
sell.  It'll tune better and relieve your concerns.  I do this on old Mason
& Hamlins to considerable improvement.

Many thanks to Ed, Will, Mike etc. for their useful suggestions! I'm working
on an old Baldwin where the tuning pins barely fit in the plate holes (no
bushings). I don't want to make a mistake drilling this one!
