What prompted this, = is: I just recently had a New Key Set made, that esstablishe a new balance = point, etc. In the process, the maker, (not to be named), threw out the old action = rails, etc., from the original, (1860's Chickering, parallel strung, 8 = footer.)! Yikes! Unfortunately, he did this with the owners say-so, instead of consulting = me! Damn! Anyway, I'm going to be re-establishing the strike points and = think some feed-back from y'all would put my mind, a bit more at ease. = (well....maybe not, knowing you guys/gals!<G>)</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any info would be appreciated. = </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best Regards,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joe Garrett, R.P.T.<BR>Captain, Tool Police<BR>Squares R I</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
