Gene, Thanks for all the experimentation -- we're all learning from this. I like the rep levers to be quite a bit tighter than the jacks -- about 1 gram for jacks, 4 to 6 grams for rep levers. This friction aids the spring strength, and might limit its travel (and hence "snap back" return force) during reset. --Cy-- Cy Shuster, RPT Albuquerque, NM www.shusterpiano.com On Mar 1, 2010, at 9:44 AM, Gene Nelson wrote: > > > Gene, > What happens when you weaken the rep leave spring just to function? > If the click is still there, you may try to add friction to a rep > lever pinning.
