>>Greetings,
>>   Have finally found a rebuild that can use the new space age WNG composite 
>parts.  However, the jack will NOT return under the knuckle. (Steinway B). All 
>the geometry looks good, and  I have put more spring in than is comfortable to 
>play, raised the rep lever until there is a noticeable gap between the height of 
>the jack, and when I pull the jack out from under, and let it go, it will not 
>return.  
>>    This is a problem I noticed on a lot of the Baldwin Renner actions years 
>ago.  Has anybody with WNG experience dealt with this before? 
>>Thanks,
