Jon, you covered the glides?? Were they knocking or something? (I'm certainly not questioning you're abilities, but this sounds a little weird. Explain?)

Replacing the impacted front rail punchings did not quiet it enough for the player. I ended up covering the bearing areas on the bottom of the key frame and glides with bushing cloth. -- Regards, Jon Page
