Friends,

My students think that taking tests is the hardest part of the course - 
little do they know, yet, that _making_ the test is far harder and time 
consuming...

How to ask a question without giving the answer, hmmmm...

The Subject might have better been put as "Easy CURE click quiz".

 >>Final symptom remedy:
	Determined after touching one part.

I was at the piano to do a routine regulation check as part of my 
between-semester maintenance and as soon as I checked for drop, I found the 
source of the click.  I use the method of raising the repetition/hammer 
with the jack tender/arm. I feel, watch and compare when repetition lever 
hits drop screw and jack hits let off button.

When the jack hit the letoff button there was a click. EUREKA!

Questions:

	1.	Part?	-let-off rail (attached to underside of hammer rail)
	2.	Make?	-Baldwin SD10 - Renner action
	3.	Cure? 	-Tighten 10 screws (two for each of five action sections)
			[hard part was finding the offset screwdriver in tool kit]

BTW,  I can hardly wait for a Hamburg D to be delivered today - fewer 
action parts. ;-}
