I think that before you go to the trouble of regulating damper springs, you had better regulate the spoons first. I've seen situations where the touch was VERY uneven, until the spoons were regulated. Trouble is, everybody seems to hate doing that so much that it's usually the last thing that they try. After that, I would put the action in a cradle, pop the springs out to the side, and see how they line up. The really strong ones should stick out further than the rest. Am I all wet? Come one guys, let me have it. I'm a big boy.</blockquote> Sorry to have let this one lie... grin.. other er... issues seem to have taken control of the universe for a moment there... all is back in order now... me hopes anyways.. <p>In anycase.. I agree that many seem (myself included) to shrug away from regulateing damper spoons.. probably cus the darn things are hidden from view when doing this, as is usual (and neccessary ??) with the action installed. I questioned neccessary because I seem to remember seeing something about a jig and accompanying procedure for doing this job on the bench... anyone remember anything about this.. or know about it ?? <br>  <p>-- <br>Richard Brekne <br>RPT, N.P.T.F. <br>Bergen, Norway <br><A HREF="mailto:Richard.Brekne@grieg.uib.no">mailto:Richard.Brekne@grieg.uib.no</A> <br>  </body> </html>
