<DIV>Some questions in general about pulley keys. What would be =
the
maximum distance a key should be allowed to move before it is =
considered ready
for repair? I'm talking to total distance from front to back, (or side =
to
side). The other question is, how do you determine the right =
position
for a key? If it moves back and forth, is it presumed the right =
place is
right in the middle? Or is it possible that the back of the hole =
is
right, and the front is worn out? After all, I would presume =
the
keys get pushed to the back of the action, which is causing the =
hole to
become oblong in the first place. </DIV>
