Regulation cheating

[Michelle Smith]

Hi everyone.  I would like to know your suggestions for "cheating" on
regulation to improve the performance of a 1950s Baldwin drop action piano.
The customer doesn't have the money for a full regulation.  She complains of
poor repetition and keys bottoming out without making a tone.   

 

Shorten the hammer blow for more lost motion?  Alter the checking?

 

Thanks for any tricks you can share.
