Lift up the back of the stickers then gently lift up on the front of the key until it clears the balance rail pin and pull it toward you. Insert it the same manner. Sounds like maybe the spoon was lifting the off from the string to soon. Eliminating lost motion will make this worse so you might have to adjust more spoons. We all call other techs from time to time. That's what we're on this list for too! :-) From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Marshall Gisondi Sent: Sunday, February 21, 2010 3:41 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] this Wurlitzer action Hi Jer, and Tom, Thanks for the ideas. I keep this handy for when it's time to work on this pinao. I'm curious, how do you guys get the keys out since there is little if any clrarence under that rail? the capstan seem to be long and thin on thie particular piano. I think I did rid out that extra tone by adjusting the spoon on this one note and gently massaging the flat sewn damper felt. When I would push down the sustain pedal I'd get extra afterring. When I'd barely I mean just push down the key, before the hammer even touched that string it woudl sound like the note was playing really soft. Adjusting the spoon helped some. I had to call a local tech in the area for some ideas. I wonder if anyone else here ever found themselves in a jam where that had to call another tech. Well I'm starting to get the hand of all this I think. Thanks again .
