[pianotech] First Pinbock

Yipes.  I'm afraid there are some glaring issues.  Not sure where to begin
here.  From appearances, it seems like heroics, in this case, may not be
warranted.

I'm about to replace my first Pinblock. It's on Mini Piano named Gerard, and
one can follow the progress here:

The pinblock severely pulled away from the posts. It is a 3/4 plate, and
there are large gaps behind the pinblock with no support. That's my current
concern. I had epoxied and bolted the pinblock a few years ago, and it held
for a couple years. My plan is to reread Chuck's Replacing the Pinblock
series which was published a couple years ago in the Journal (and which I
read at

the time) and follow those steps. However, I believe I will need to add
supports, fill in those gaps between the posts. 

Any glaring issues or recommendations from you experienced rebuilders before
I start?

Thanks!
