<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To solve the problem of the tipper =
scooting out I
welded sharp tips to the feet that go under the piano.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They dig into the bottom =
board.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One problem on thick rugs one needs the =
help of
another person to put one side of the tilter, at a time, under =
the
piano as I lift the piano up enough to allow the tilter to slide
under.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And again to remove the tilter the =
piano needs to
be raised slightly to remove the tilter. A one inch block of wood under =
the rear
casters works but as yet I have not taken the time to attach them =
to my
tilter so that they are there when needed. <G> Oh well! =
