howard spinet

To quote the robot: "Warning, Mr. Smith, Warning."

If this is the action Joe describes here DO NOT remove sticker wires from the guide bar or let them fall out—MAJOR pain to get them all back you, AMHIK.

Do what he said, put damper blocks on several wires ABOVE the rail and tighten the screws.

Ohoh. Is this the one with the wood rail with the stickers comming up through it?
If it is you need 4 or 5 damper heads drilled out to, I think it is 1/8 inch.
You will capture the wire end of the sticker at the end of each section.
This one is easy but still look for the brace. It may be a rod.
Rough setting of lost motion can be done by adjusting the hight of the sticker rail.
You will want to purchase a 12" long thin 1/8" screwdriver.

Hi Guys,
Came across a baldwin howard spinet with jack flanges that are comming unglued. I want to pull the action, but it was designed in a way I have yet to see.
Bolted to the plate-no struts, and these long flat metal pieces that are screwed into the wooden platform under the action.
Anything I should be aware of other than the usual stuff? Also , will the pianotek sticker holder work on this model?
Thanks,
RU/UP
