        I understand about the pinblock but I think this is the same model 
that I'm working on currently and it has 5 nose bolts. So my question is are 
you sure they were low enough not not interfere with the plates ability to 
settle into an appropriate position? It's an easy mistake ask any rebuilder. 
If someone set the blots to high previously and then bloted the plate down it 
would have popped up noticeably when the bolts came out.
 It would be nice if it was that simple. I lost the original post. How big is 
the piano? What did the plate sit on, blocks at each plate boss? does it have 
plate bosses?
