No I haven't gone back with the tool to take out the bolts. I'm thinking =
I'm going to replace them with regular bolts. Or weld a regular tuning =
pin head on the old ones. Hopefully an oval wrench won't be needed at =
all then.

  I tuned an S and S Square recently that had a couple of notes that =
weren't working.  It's a very simple mechanism.  In the case of the one =
I was working on, the jack had just flipped over backwards.  I just =
flipped it back under the knuckle, and voila!  It worked.  Whatta =
genius.....=20

  The hard part was getting the action back in so that some of the =
hammers in the high treble didn't get stuck on the plate when the keys =
were struck.  I eventually got it aligned right.  =20

  I agree, I'm glad there weren't three strings in the upper unisons.  =
My back still hurts thinking about it.  Overall, though, I enjoyed the =
experience far more than I thought I might.  =20

  I wasn't clear on whether you got the action out or not.  Once you do =
get it out, the thing is pretty self-explanatory.  =20
