an old

action (taken it completely apart, re-pinned, replaced and =
re-assembled).
I am now ready to regulate it. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=293075622-16102003><FONT face=Arial size=2>This =
piano is mine
and I want to improve my regulating skills. Therefore, I intend on =
being
super fussy on every step and doing every step several times. In =
reading
books on regulating I don't see any mention of a lost motion =
compensator, but
mine has a bar which goes up to the hammer rest rail. These bars =
can be
adjusted a good bit with the use of a set screw at the mounting =
point.
When I took it apart I didn't mark it to note where it was set (stupid) =
but
there has got to be some measure of exactly where the lost motion =
compensator
should kick in, and in what order should I insert this step in the =
regulation
procedure. (I intend to follow the 25 steps in REBLITZ (page
37).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
