marking the block

[Joseph Garrett]

Renate,
Use the proper sized "transfer punch", cant it 5 degrees and whack it with a
hammer. Of course the block is temporarily fixed to the plate while this is
done, (and the plate/p.block assembly is in it's proper position in the
piano w/all the screws in and tight.
regards,
Joe Garrett
