<div>Esteemed colleagues,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Of all the possible jack problems that have been suggested, I've thought most of those, and tried the proper remedies. Nada. I should point out that the jack is pinned solidly in the flange, which is glued firmly to the wippen on both instruments.<SPAN contentEditable=false style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN> Rick Barber's suggestion that the jack might somehow be wedged by the jack slap felt (name?) is a slim possibility.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Paul's suggestion below makes total sense. I checked bridle wire and other parts in the nether regions for any type of conflict, but I did not check the possibility of the tape hanging up on the catcher. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I don't think the damper spoons are an issue here, but that's worth a look, too. I thought of that, but I guess I was in denial because of the low fun factor of working on spinet damper spoons....</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Marshall, the pianos are in "decent" enough regulation so that all of the other notes work relatively well. The not working notes are an anomaly on each of them. I agree about Baldwins being one of the very few worthy spinets, but they're spinets nonetheless!</div>

<div><FONT size=3>Excellent suggestion. I have run across that a couple times. The first time - well, let's just say I'd be ashamed to admit how much head scratching I did before I finally saw what was happening. And you're right - even when your eyes are focus right on that problem, it can be very difficult to see.</FONT></div>
