Terry:

One other comment.  If you end up replacing the hammers check carefully the
geometry and hammer weight.  Those pianos tend to be over leaded and play
like trucks.  If the key ratio is over .55 consider using an 18mm knuckle
radius (Abel makes one, available from Brooks).  With the right kind of
hammer tapering you should be able to pull excess lead out of the keys and
get the action playing nicely.  Repositioning the capstan might also be
considered.
