I've had my two since the late 70s' and have tilted the heaviest of 
the behemoths. Ironically, the hardest to tilt are the smallest 
spinets. Has to do with the distribution of weight and balance.

I did have modifications made to the feet by welding an 1/2" diameter 
steel rod, thereby extending the distance about 2" further out.
