<DIV>John,</DIV>
<DIV>I just had one of these situations and it turned out to be the =
return
spring jammed into the soft key frame, locking up any possibility of =
pulling the
action out normally. </DIV>

removal</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Greetings, List.<BR><BR>This Kimball piano action is =
stuck on
the treble side. It is the type which<BR>has on either side of the =
keyframe a
small block of wood with two screws<BR>holding the keyframe pins into =
the
keybed. Having worked on several of these<BR>with no problem removing =
the
action, I am at a loss as to the reason this<BR>one is =
stuck.<BR><BR>The
keyframe is free to the extent that one can lift it up slightly in
the<BR>front. The bass side will slide out, but the treble side will =
not
budge.<BR>There seems to be no misplaced screw in the keyframe and no
visible<BR>obstruction from the pinblock.<BR><BR>Anyone had this =
problem
before, or any ideas?<BR><BR>Thanks in advance.<BR><BR>John M. =
