They are pretty rare around here. I really liked it and still don't understand why they didn't pursue that action. If you ever need the specs for regulating it let me know as they are different from a regular action.</STRONG></DIV> <P><STRONG></STRONG> </P> <P><STRONG>Ron Boyd - Milwaukee chapter #532</STRONG></P> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"><BR></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">----- Original Message ----<BR>From: "richard.ucci@att.net" <richard.ucci@att.net><BR>To: pianotech@ptg.org<BR>Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 2:09:02 PM<BR>Subject: cable action<BR><BR> <DIV>List,</DIV> <DIV>Tuned a Cable console today,ca: 1948, with an inverted type action?
