Of course the problem with this kind of reasoning, and it is classic
protectionist, is twofold. One, it assumes that the kind of people who
are actually going to take the time to do something like Jim sketches
out below haven't already figured out all they need to do already, and
that two... the rest of the relevant world (which is by far the vast
majority of piano techs) are going to be more prone to attempting then
to simply using a real scalers service.
And, as is usual in these kinds of issues... the reasoning fails on both
accounts. Just because someone knows how to replace a set of keys
doesnt mean that he/she wont appreciate the value of someone who is
reallllllly good and realllly fast and realllllly reasonable at doing
the job for him/her. Fact is... we simply dont have time to be great at
everything... not by a long shot.
A bit of good solid awareness as to just how valuable a specialists
services are wont do anyone any harm... quite the opposite really.
So... I simply have to take issue.. I dont understand the protectionist
view and doubt I ever will. As self defeating a stand as one could ever
take IMHO.

Yes. Juan's point is (I guess) that by studying his scaling carefully
you may be able to adjust the Scale Ripper and get the freebee. At least
that's what I got from his answer to me. Seemed a bit ticked about it...
The Scale Ripper seems to have a few more bells and whistles than
Bonamens.
