<DIV> Hi Ed</DIV>
<DIV>IS this a Renner tray? I usually have zero problems with the Renner part
but on some few application this is a problem. I have a set of backchecks
that are precoved in stock. The New Tokiwa system has taken this situation
into account & located the top flange,wire & tab to match the position
of the old one.</DIV>
<DIV> Just a thought</DIV>

size=2>Greetings, <BR> Ok, this ain't working. Maybe
someone else has found the easy way around <BR>this problem. <BR>
1917 Steinway M, complete action restoration, went just fine until I
<BR>replaced the underlever assembly with a factory replacement. There
is not <BR>enough room for the sostenuto rod between the backchecks and the
damper tabs. I <BR>have even moved the entire underlever assembly distal
about as far as it would <BR>go and it still is interfering.
<BR> I am wondering if replacing the sos. rod with a late model
rod will help? <BR>The original is one of the "cast" looking rods, and
it appears to be larger <BR>than the modern ones. Anybody run into this
and found a way through it? <BR>Thanks, <BR><BR>Ed Foote RPT
