Hey Tom,
It has the pickup fingers with the guide rail, but it looked the guide =
rail was attached to the keybed and not attached to the action frame.  I =
was afraid that if I tried to remove the guide rail that the pins that =
go up through the guide rail bushings would slip of the rail.  The =
Acrosonic was built in '53.  Anyone had a problem with that year =
Acrosonic?
Joy!

  Hey Joe,

  Gee, that sounds good.  "Just leave it alone if you can't fix it =
right."  Let me remind you that this is an Acrosonic spinet and pulling =
the hammer spring rail would be a lengthy and arduous task.  Leave it =
alone--it would be nice to do it--I would too, if I could, but how do I =
get the hammer to return to the hammer rest rail without the hammer butt =
spring to push it back?  Leave it alone?  I don't think so!

  Joy!

  Elwood,

              Just a quick observation here---

              If this is an acro with the pickup fingers and the guided =
rail, then action removal is not arduous at all.

              The merits of repair --not repair aside, you can take this =
action out in about ten minutes (check for broken bridles -- so you can =
get it back in! )=20
