Jack question for old piano

[William R. Monroe]

Hi Doug,

How about using a shorter jack?   ;-]

Barring finding an appropriate jack for this piano, you could probably 
remove the jack along with it's neighbor, cut the new jack to proper length 
using the old one as a guide.  Make sure to leave enough length to shape the 
tip of the jack appropriately, lube and re-install.
