<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi folks...<BR><BR>Ran into a really cute one... older =
Petrof 6
foot variant. I had a basic <BR>action cleanup, lub, and regulation in =
front
of me. I'd gotten so far as <BR>to be back at the piano and started to =
do the
rough in... and noticed <BR>real quickly in the middle area that there =
was
this squishy feeling to <BR>the bottom of the key stroke... sort of =
like what
you get if the damper <BR>stop rail is adjusted just barely too low... =
but it
wasnt. The other <BR>clue is that removing key front punchings really =
didnt
seem to help, or <BR>give any increase in dip or aftertouch. I didnt =
find the
problem until I <BR>noticed the keys wouldnt fall to the front felt =
punchings
with the <BR>weight of the top action removed.<BR><BR>This may be easy =
to
guess at now... but I just couldnt believe it had <BR>gotten out of =
the
factory in this condition. Amazing ! 50 Q&A points for <BR>the =
first to
guess right
=
:)<BR><BR>Cheers<BR>RicB<BR>_____________________________________________=
