---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi all, If any of you have pictures available of the plate being taken out of the piano, using a hoist, or any other means, please pass them along for the Gallery. It would be great to see what all the various kinds look like: those attached to the ceiling, the foldable ones, car engine hoists. Also of interest: what kind of straps do you use to affix the plate... where do you affix the straps to the plate... Please share. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will put pics and text-only contributions up at http://webpages.charter.net/cimenti/workshop . Wim, may I post your technique for your one person plate removal technique there?
