Lowrey grand problem update

Shine a light down through the strings and you will see that
the right edge of G#4 is touching the underlever of G4.
Notice the alignment of all key end lifter felts to the underlevers.

Either the G4 underlever is angled towards the treble (in which case,
the underlever flange would need a shim on the treble side) or
the entire action needs to shift towards the treble.

On the bass side of the keybed is a rest block for the action.
Place a shim behind this to move the action over.  Of course you
will now need to space all the hammers to the strings, might even need
to reshape if there are string cuts (you'll never realign them).

It could be a good learning experience but you might want to either
refer this to someone who knows what they're doing or hire a tech
to guide you.  Sounds like you're a little over your head.
