Stuck action

When the problem of a reduced height between keybed and pinblock, making it 
imposible to withdraw the action, was described on here some weeks ago, I 
thought "Well, that's probably something I'll never come across".  This 
afternoon I did!

I wanted to pull the action to check the regulation of a note and to check a 
problem with damper lift, and couldn't.

You can see the grooves cut in the underside of the pinblock by the top of 
the drop screws, where someone in the past has forced the action out. It's 
now beyond even forcing.  If I need to pull the action out on a future 
visit, I will have to file 88 little grooves!

Sorry about the poor picture quality.  The piano is a Steimeyer, looks 1930s 
or maybe a bit older.

Best,

David.
