I have a 20-year-old Yamaha U1.  Is it possible to retrofit a soft-close fallboard mechanism?  I've asked Yamaha, and they say their current parts would require extensive modifications.  I found one kit at Schaff, I think, but I'd like to know if anyone else has tried this.  Which kits work?  How hard is it to install?

Thanks...
