plates</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joseph,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> I recently replaced some =
plates .
These were in the same mortises and although the depth of the =
mortises
was correct the holes did not line up for the new plates. =
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> I drilled out the existing =
holes and
glued in hardwood plugs (not dowells) Then with the plates =
locked
together on the leg, I applied a small amount of C.A. to the =
plate that
attatches to the piano--Careful not to glue them together !--- then =
put the
leg in place correctly positioned , wait for the C.A. to bond, =
carefully
remove the leg and there you have it , the leg plate positioned and =
ready for
drilling and screws . Tom Driscoll</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Tom,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>A big ALRIGHT to you. And I might add that you =
can picture
me with my hand slapping my forehead saying, "why didn't I think of =
that?" I
briefly toyed with using double side masking tape, but the prospect =
of
having the silly plate fall off into my face just as I reached =
for it
didn't appeal.</FONT></DIV>
