<BLOCKQUOTE cite="" type="cite"><FONT face=Arial size=-1>One =
of the D's on
our stage has a bowed truck. I tried solving this problem by taking =
the
weight off the legs, and tightening the bolts on the center plate. =
But it
didn't do the trick. The bolts that hold the little plates under =
each leg
are about 1" from the floor. I don't think, however, that it lowers =
the
keybed that much. I think we're only talking about an inch or
so.</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
