<DIV><FONT size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Is there a trick of some kind to
tighten Yamaha damper tray flange screws without taking all of =
the
dampers out? For whatever reason some stoned engineer put the =
flange screw
behind the flange itself. I had an older C-7 in a recording =
studio
this morning that I had to prepare for a 12:00 session with "Air =
Supply",
(those who grew up in the 70's will certainly remember =
them).
There was a rattle in the tray and after a while of fiddling I came to =
the
conclusion that the center damper tray flange screw was =
loose. After
30 minutes with the aid of a long and narrow screwdriver standing =
on my
head with a 60 watt light bulb in my face I was finally able to partly
force it in from the side and tighten but the =
whole experience
was ridiculous. My assessment was correct however and the rattle =
did
stop. Am I missing something here or is there actually =
a practical
way to do this?</FONT></DIV>
