<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Glenn. Would you be willing to =
post a
description of the air actuator again. I don't recall seeing any such =
thing
(I've caught a few legitimate emails that were filtered out by my spam =
filter -
I've even seen a few of my own get filtered out!). I would sure =
appreciate any
such info. Always looking for a way to minimize damage to a soundboard =
during
removal.</FONT></DIV>

that the last board I "air-popped" out (and really I am not a bigtime =

overhang
in the belly rail, but the actuator hose slipped right in the inch and =
one

Little or
no problem, the next board I do I intend to put actuators all around. =
Added

a tiny
