I'm not familiar with this particular model, but I have done screws in similar situations. You can get screwdrivers that hold the screw on the end while you stick it into inaccessible places. In a pinch you can also super glue the screw to the end of your screwdriver. Once you start putting torque on it it will break loose.

The flange screw for the center damper lifter tray flange has come loose and is out of its hole. (This is the screw that holds the flange to the damper flange rail, not the screw that attaches it to the damper lifter tray.) When it works its way around it gets between the damper tray and the damper flange rail and holds the tray up just enough for the bass most dampers to not stop the strings correctly. I remember seeing descriptions on this list for a tool to tighten the end flange screws, but I'm not sure if this can get to the center flange screw. The screw is not just loose where it can be just tightened; I am going to have to get it restarted into the aluminum flange rail. Even if the entire back action was disassembled, I don't see anyway that this screw could ever have been installed to begin with unless it was put in before the keybed was installed. Any and all help will be much appreciated. Thanks Rex Roseman Roseman Piano Tuning -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
