[pianotech] Damper tray block

[Dale Erwin]

Check the block screw hole elevation on the belly rail cavity wall at both bass and treble locations. If they are the same then the elevation in both blocks will be the same. This will help locate the screw hole in the new block.

I believe I'd plug the hole and sidestep Murphy, to whatever degree 
that's possible. Though that might be the second try...
