<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cy asked: "<FONT face="Times New =
Roman" size=3> why
are those =<BR>jacks made in two pieces to begin with? Is it =
just so they
can fail in =<BR>a repairable way if regulation is off (too much
aftertouch)?<FONT face=Arial size=2>"</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Being the maker of obsolete action =
parts, I can say
the Jack is the most difficult item to make. (just close your eyes and =
try to
imagine how that configuration is cut!) It's made that way, because it's =
better,
IMO</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW, I hope you are prepared to replace =
those
jacks, as in fairly soon, as CA doesn't last very well in Stress =
applications.
Please don't do that anymore. I don't care if it is in some PTG =
manual.....it's
a bad way to repair something like that! Especially in a high end piano! =
Yikes!</FONT></DIV>
