[CAUT] BALDWIN tray-height?List,

[pismo]

Mark,

If the tray pins are the same height and the back of the tray is level, 
check for tray warp.  This is most likely to happen with the presence 
of a tray return spring at one end causing the opposite end to warp 
upward.  If that is ever the occasion reposition the spring to the 
opposite end of the tray and allow it to unwarp.  I wish you well.
