I think I know what you mean. But I'm quite sure the answer is - nope, =
that's not it.

Hey, I got one! Who's next?

  Una corda lever under the bed falling down in front because the hook =
(or clamp) that's supposed to hold it up is turned to the side? (I can =
vidualize what I mean, honest; I just can't say it very well.)

    Okay, here is my first (and likely lame) contribution to the daily =
mystery question.

    About 1980 Kawai KG-2S - about 5' 10" - very good to excellent =
condition. Lady bought it used one year ago (she paid $3,500 for it - =
perfect satin cherry case - she got a great deal!). During that first =
year she had a QRS Pianomation player system installed on the piano. We =
had set up a service appointment for cleaning the interior, tuning and =
looking at a "loose" pedal.

    The left (una-corda) pedal was just hanging down. I crawled under =
piano to check levers, etc. Everything with the una-corda under the =
keybed appeared to be functioning just fine. Adjustment appears good (in =
that, when the pedal travels down, the lever moves sideways in the =
keybed). However, when you depress the left pedal the action frame did =
not slide over to the right. The keyframe was resting on the left felted =
keyframe stop. The action slid in and out easily. It was as if the =
una-corda lever system was not hooked up to the action frame.

    What was the cause of the non-functioning una-corda pedal?

    (This is probably too easy - however, it did take me a good 10 or 15 =
minutes to fully figure it out.)
