I just meant that a little side pressure stopped</div> <div>the noise. Adding that cardboard punching did essentially the same thing.</div> <div><br></div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">I would think that the tray moving up and down might have created the oval hole. Be sure the try is not only tight side to side, but that the block is tight from top to bottom. If there is a gap between the block and to belly rail or the block and the keybed, you might want to put a front rail punching under or on top of the block to get it snug.</font></blockquote> <div><br> The top and bottom of the block is snug. I checked that, so it must</div> <div>have been the movement of the guide pin within the block itself. </div> <div><br></div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">This problem might have happen if the damper tray was ever taken out before. The person who removed it might not have put the pouching back that came out.</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div>The tray has never been out since Rappaport's rebuilt it. At least since</div> <div>it's been here.<br> </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Just a thought.</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div>Thanks.</div> <div><br></div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Wim</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div>Avery</div> </body> </html>
