Hey Dale,

 

It would be valuable to me, perhaps others, if you could post some pics and
explanation of how your plexiglass target works.

Hey Rick
  I do this frequently & it takes a about 20 minutes to set up the
plexiglass target I use to mark the center line of the unison. I use this to
align hammers to strings later. 20 minutes to get the screws out of the
flanges and into the screw rack. 20 minutes to cut off the old one. About 30
minutes to cut a new slot on all 88 with the slotting jig on the table saw.
About 1 to 1 1/2  hrs to install knuckles. 30 minutes to screw
flanges/shanks back on to rails and 20 minutes to align hammers to the
string marks on the jig.
 How much time is that. I'm slow but whos counting....oh yeah...Joe is. That
rascal. :)
Dale
