[pianotech] New (to me) action

[Terry Farrell]

Pretty freaky! I'm with Wim. Looks more-or-less like a modern grand  
action - but without a repetition lever. So it appears to function  
like a modern upright - a single-escapemnet action. I'd start by  
approaching it as a modern grand action, but you may find that some of  
the adjustments need to be more or less. Like my guess is that the  
hammer shanks will need to rest on a rail (like an modern upright) and  
that you will need a tiny bit of lost motion (again, like an upright)  
because of the single escapement design.

Or did the rep lever just fall off????????
