Wurlitzer Bass Sustain problem

[John Lillico, RPT]

Todd,

There should be a stop capstan suspended from the bottom of the keybed which can be adjusted downward (lengthened) to limit the travel of the sustain pedal lever. After a second callback, I think that's what I discovered with a similar sized Samick.
