If you have a larger Baldwin w/Renner action, like I just featured in my "easy" quiz, you can always remove the let off rack, adjust the jack in the window and replace the rack. I don't, but you could always try and tell me how easy it is. ;-} For smaller/older baldwins actions, I like the Yamaha letoff tool. It's skinny enough to get between the letoff dowels (from left OR right - rarely both sides). I find it's easiest to tilt the jack toward you to lessen angle between adj. screw and tool. You'll still have to do it by the Braille system, but it can be done. (Just did a "C" today...)
