None of the books that I have list this model or serial number and searching the web got me no where. If anyone can identify the age of the piano so that I can identify were it was produced I would appreciate that information.   The reason I need this information is that the action brackets are made out of some type of pot mettle, and are cracking and breaking at every point that a hole as been drilled and/or tapped for a screw. If replacement parts are available this piano will need them. With all the changes at Baldwin in recent years, there most likely is not much hope for that.   There were also some postings about building new brackets for “antique” pianos that I will search for ideas if the brackets need to be reproduced. If anyone would like to respond to this on the list, I am thinking that this may be the way I will have to go.   Because of the type of metal used, repair is not an option; they would just fall apart at another stress point.   Thanks.   Rex Roseman Roseman Piano Tuning   </div> </body> </html>
