On the one I saw yesterday, I think it was like this: Left side of the rail has one screw hole (to go into the case) Right side of the rail has two screws: one goes into the dowel, and the other into the case. Though I didn't examine it enough to thoroughly explain it, I think the dowel is what pulls the arm down. If only I'd know you needed info, I could have gotten a picture. :-) -- JF On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 12:05 AM, Marshall Gisondi <pianotune05 at hotmail.com>wrote: > Hi Tom & JF, > thank you for the help.
