<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not the sharpest on new pin block installation
but today I saw something that seemed odd. While tuning an old Baldwin
Grand from the thirties I pulled the action and for some reason touched the
bottom of the pin block. It was not drilled all the way through! I
don't think I have ever noticed a shallow drilled grand pin block before.
This got me to thinking about reasons why someone would drill this way? I
came up with 0! This was a pin block installed by a technician here in the
area. He is not on this list and to be truthful I don't think much of his
work. So maybe its just one of those odd jobs that a less skilled
technician would perform? Or maybe its a common method used on grand pin
blocks and my blind a-s just don't know it? The grand blocks that I have
dun, or helped do were drilled all the way through! So you guys tell
me. What gives? Thanks!</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
