Capstans

[Farrell]

Oh, holy cow Howard. While trying to figure out what your problem was, I
went back and read your original post. I see now that you mention backcheck
wires on the rear of the action. OOPS! The action I worked on was a short
console. I assumed yours was also. I see now it is a grand. Yucko! I'll
apologize and back off right here and wish that I had not responded in the
first place! Idunno what to do! Sounds like a real tough one. I have never
even heard of a grand action that had keys that dropped down at the rear.
Hmmmmm. Sorry, Good luck!
