Check the shift lever. Frequently the action will lift off the keybed when
the piano is tipped up on its side and the shift lever will reposition so
that when the piano comes down the action frame is sitting on top of the
shift lever tang. Sometimes all that is required is to pull the shift lever
down to force the tang back into its slot.

Ron,
It has been standard practice for a lot of installers to toss the dags  
when slotting the keybed for a player system.  This does put the  
action at risk when moving.  You really do have to pull the action.   
There are a lot of unpleasant possibilities.
