<div> Hi William,<br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
I've found friction in the centers on some of these models. It doesn't make sense that it would appear suddenly, though. Good luck, and keep us posted. <br>
<br>
The model isn't important, but knowing the era of construction could prove useful.<br>
<br>
You might attract Don Mannino if you put "Kawai upright loss of repetition" in the subject line....:-)<br>

<div><font face="Bookman Old Style" size="2">Nope, we got it before. I'll
really scrutinize the lost motion when I return. Also, (I'm a little
embarrassed to say) I don't know the model. It is a 1972 console, so I'd
assume ABS to some degree, though I'd have to look again to confirm. These
details just don't stay in my head. As I recall, the model # was not
obvious and I didn't look extra hard to find it. Didn't really seem
relevant enough to me to start looking all over for a designation that wouldn't
really give me any useful information (other than filling every one on the list
in as to what exact beastie we are dealing with).

I sent this

Don Mannino once posted
somewhere (Piano World maybe?) that Kawai uprights operate better with no or
slightly negative lost motion.<br>
<br>
I've found Kawai upright actions to work
quite well. What model is it? Wood or ABS parts?

Good Luck,<br>
