[CAUT] CAF

[Mark Cramer]

Two tests for CAF:

 

1.)    Wink the jack tender; the hammer should wink, but the repetition
lever (watch the regulating button) should not.

2.)    With hammer up, flick the jack tender to make sure the jack snaps all
the way to rest.

 

Both symptoms are the result of excessively weakening the rep spring, mainly
to accommodate loose centers (lever or hammer flange) and often in
combination with lighter after-market hammers.

Sorry Jon, you are right 3.25.

Fred, we're not far off from each other. I disagree with pinning balanciers
at 2 grams, however,  4 or 5 is good if you have variable humidity. If you
always have low humidity then 7-9 is fine.

Jeff, occasionally we are on the same page.
