<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hello. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So I recently removed the action of a Weber console, to do some
regulating, but after returning it I noticed that several of the jacks =
are
making a fairly loud clicking noise, and some of the notes are buzzing =
(damper
related?). When the action was out, i didn't really touch the =
jacks all
that much; the only thing i can think of is that i had =
driven the
action around, to and my from my apartment, and
twice while on the backseat it rolled onto one side and then back =
onto
the other, so maybe that affected something. Anyhow, as may be =
apparent,
i'm very new to piano technology, so go easy on me. =
Thanks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Go easy ? Not here my Man ! </DIV>
<DIV> Kidding of course. While never a good idea to =
let an
action roll around, It's unlikly that the jacks could be damaged.. =
.</DIV>
<DIV> Is the noise when they return? Check the butt =
felt
squares. Noise as you depress the key? check the let-off rail forks =
for loose
screws.</DIV>
<DIV> Buzzing , hard to tell without being =
there.Tighten all
action brackets , check the fit of the action on the =
supports.Remember,
the louder the noise ,the easier to diagnose and fix.</DIV>
<DIV> Try this on the next action transport instead =
of the
back seat.</DIV>
<DIV> Put the action in the front passenger area =
with one
end on the floor and the other on the headrest. Very stable and easy =
with most
cars-.</DIV>
<DIV> Best wishes,</DIV>
