<DIV>Les,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Call Pam Woods at (866) 798-6979. x 233. In the recent past, there's been a long wait for parts. They recently got a passel of them. Hopefully there are some left. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are long brackets, and short brackets. The long ones hang over the ends of the mounting blocks on the bracket, and are kind of a hassle. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was in a situation like you: club, probably not much time or space to work in. Toting the action down an elevator into a basement parking lot, and eventually to my garage was not going to be a very economical use of time. I tried to do the job in a storage room, but due to the distance from my car and shop, it didn't work out real well with the long brackets(all YC had available at the time). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The good news is, they got some of the short brackets in recently, and I was able to get a couple of sets. The new ones come with screws to accomodate the slightly different dimensions.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes. Serial numbers starting with zero are from the era. Yours sounds like a classic case.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone tell me if a YC model G-150, S/N G054242 might be one with expanding brackets? I tuned this first time, a nightclub….. yesterday. . First five notes were blocking, and several others along the way did so as well. Regulation was terrible throughout, and of course it was in HORRIBLE tune. I called the local dealer who had YC and got no recall. I don't know if I have some "responsibility" to deal with this thing for which I have absolutely no experience. But I hate to see even bad pianos be worse than they need be……</FONT></DIV>
