BaldwinSF-10

[David Love]

I find that Baldwins often benefit from a capstan relocation.  The key
ratios tend to be a bit high: .55 or .56.  A move to .53 with a 17 mm
knuckle will often put the overall ratio right in the zone.

Yes they would. I think very elastic hammers help Baldwins of all size and
age even more than they help other makes.

I also second Dale's comment about the checking the leverage carefully. I
suggested Ronsen hammers for an SD-10 recently for that reason, but the
client insisted on Renner Blues. We tapered and coved all we could and still
had to file them rather severely to get the strike weight down to a
reasonable balance without raising the leading into the "inertia zone."
