it, so in the meantime, I thought I'd see if anyone<BR>had any other

one,
so any suggestions would be welcome. Even<BR>replacing it.<BR><BR>The one
pictured in the Schaff catalogue "might" be adaptable but the

he
design on the Knabe, so there would <BR>probably<BR>be room to "cheat" a
little. It would be nice to have an exact duplicate but I<BR>seriously dou=
bt
that's possible. Unless someone can duplicate some of the
<BR>parts.<BR><BR>Actually, I just took another look and realized that the=
only thing that would<BR>have to be done is to duplicate the two tapered
"legs" between the pedal <BR>box and<BR>the top and drill out and replace =
the
old dowels that join the two.<BR><BR>I'll probably be putting this on the
pianotech list tonight when I get <BR>home, so<BR>I apologize in advance t=

any of you who will end up getting two of these
