damper tray got high

<< Wha'ts up with this?  I can't imagine that there actually IS a spring in 
there, holding the tray up.  If anything, I would expect there to be a spring 
holding the tray DOWN, allowing it to be lifted by the pedal, and then return 
downward with the aid of a spring.  >>

Greetings, 
      this is a common problem where there are damper springs in place.  If 
an axis is shared by the underlever pinning and the tray pivots, any underlever 
springs will try to rotate the tray upwards.  
Are there damper lever springs on this assembly?
