David,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, the [piano has the spade screw supports for
adjusting the jack-stop rail. They seem a bit insecure, and are bent, so
that when I turn them, they turn in an eliptical fashion. I think I'll see
if I can straighten them, then adjust the rail inward. Taking it off would
work, but that would be a major hassle. Bending it the supports would work,
too, which is what I think they did at the factory when they regulated it.
That's probably why they make a funny rotation when they turn....:-{
