Thanks to Mark and Ed.  I have lots of lead work to "undo", but I think
I'm on my way to finding the right parts, etc.   I appreciate it!

List,
I have walked into a Steinway O rebuild (1901) midway to help another
tech and to make a long story shorter.. I have no string height
measurements (plate is pulled) and I'm thinking I need that to
measure/weigh for new parts.  Key leads have been removed/added over the
years, so I am particularly concerned about ordering the best parts
(knuckle location, hammer weight, etc).  I know plate locations varied,
etc., but I'm ignorant as to how much variation there was over the years
with string height, etc.  Anyone have a clue where I should head??  I
measured a 20 year old L, but don't know if that is in the ballpark
(seems low).  Thanks.
