[pianotech] bench screws

[Isaac Sadigursky]

Hi,Carlos!
Great TIP!
Thanx
I bet that broken hinge screws  or stripped holes happened because the  
Top Sliding Mechanism is missing or broken
.
Bench top needs to be secured with a SASH CHAIN,about a foot long,to  
allow the top to be open PAST 90 degrees,so it can stay open.
Hope,I made myself clear.
See you in Kansas.
