Let me see if I can understand this.  I realize the angle of the lever, as 
Fred sais, is "the angle of the levers as the manner in which the two arcs 
intercept - arcs of underlever versus arc of key". That is why the lever is digging 
into the lifter felt. That is why I want to lower the tray, to reduce that 
angle, and at the same time lower the height of the lever to 1 1/2".  

But isn't the pitman the block of wood into which the tray is attached by the 
pin? So if I lower the pivot point, I will lower the tray. The question I 
have is, how much should I lower the pivot point to lower the height of the lever 
an 1/8"? And I should, I presume, cut off the block and redrill the screw 
holes, right?
