Different, to be sure, but no more difficult. I don't generally remove the sides and sometime I take some liberties with the inside ends of the toeblocks and the arms. It makes life easier if one is able to slide the plate out without all that interference. But once the plate is out the rest is pretty straightforward.</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080><SPAN class=046425221-21042008></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080><SPAN class=046425221-21042008>ddf</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080><SPAN class=046425221-21042008></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080><SPAN class=046425221-21042008></SPAN></FONT> </DIV><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000080 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left> <HR tabIndex=-1> <FONT face=Tahoma size=2><B>From:</B> pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] <B>On Behalf Of </B>erwinspiano@aol.com<BR><B>Sent:</B> April 21, 2008 2:43 PM<BR><B>To:</B> pianotech@ptg.org<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: Rebuilding an upright<BR></FONT><BR></DIV> <DIV></DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=3>Mike <BR></FONT></EM></STRONG> I'll second that.  It's so much easier to do what you've suggested & there is no question about original plate locations.  I find uprights quite a bit more difficult in general to rebelly. Certainly no discounts apply.<BR>  Dale<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
