<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Not sure just how long it
will take, Joe. Of course the first time takes <br>
longer. SOMEWHERE around here I have the data sheet sent out the first
time <br>
I did one -- the other two times I didn't receive it. It had the spread
figure, <br>
and an order of operations. <br>
<br>
You may have to set up two different times for this job -- the first
two times, <br>
the new brackets fit perfectly. The third time, the holes for the two
middle <br>
brackets (in front) were the wrong places, so I had to plug and redrill
-- <br>
also, the original screws were not quite long enough, so I had to get
longer <br>
ones. You might just have your Associate take along a few extra longer
screws, <br>
just in case. <br>
<br>
Once they are in, one of course has to undo the desperate
letoff-widening <br>
and drop-increasing which was probably done as they began to grow. <br>
<br>
Hope none of these are so expanded that it affects getting the action
out. <br>
<br>
And I just this week found an old Kohler with the yellow plastic
elbows, <br>
and the plastic was still pretty tough! Not many of those left. This
piano <br>
had one replaced elbow and one broken elbow. I'm waiting for them to
get <br>
more fragile. Trying to chew them off when they are still tough is a
pain <br>
in the neck. Had to drive out the center pins on a number the last time
<br>
that happened. <br>
<br>
Oh, and I have one Baldwin product with the rock-hard corfam, which is <br>
waiting. <br>
<br>
Best, <br>

<pre wrap="">All,
I must lead a charmed life...or something like it...I've never had to
replace those pesky, expanding, grand action brackets.<G> However, I now
have an Associate that has two of them! She needs to know, approximately,
how much time it take to do that job?? I guess I need to know, as well,
so's I can insert it into the RLG, for it's next "reprint".
Thanks to any/all who respond.
Best,
Joe
