Mr. G,

Yes, you are missing something very important, and you
may be very close to destroying the piano!  I would
stop immediately and read about Baldwin’s plate height
adjustment procedure.  You could also call Tom Malone
and get the instructions from him.  It would also be
good to learn about the downbearing adjustment on the
same piano because the perimeter bolts have to be set
properly for the downbearing adjustment to be
feasible.

Actually, the SF-10 is something of an engineering
marvel, you just have to know what the designer
intended.
