<DIV>Whitney spinet, eh? Just use the same random spacing the factory used.... oh, wait, that was cruel.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>More seriously: Are these on a damper rebound rail in the usual configuration? Is the rail still usable?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Actually, I guess I don't really understand your question ... a little more detail, please ...</DIV>

<DIV>List,</DIV>
<DIV> Is there a standard distance for spacing hammer butt springs? I'm thinking of doing a gang replacement on a Whitney spinet .</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
