The console to which you refer is the Baldwin Acrosonic. A number of 
these which were sold in Sydney developed tight hammer centres. 
Without tapes they weren't exactly easy to get along with. They also 
had some kind of felt-like material in place of the usual balance 
hammer covering, so the checks didn't, particularly at higher dynamic 
levels.
