<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I just looked at a late 1980s Baldwin studio, =
serial
#1417324, style #4023 (model number?), with a pinblock separating from =
the
back assembly (about a quarter-inch separation). The piano has 3 =
backposts,
but the back assembly is covered with veneers. Does anyone know =
if the
backposts on these pianos extend to the top of the back assembly (top =
of back
assembly also covered with veneers - yes, I will be able to tell when =
I yank
these veneers off - but was curious before I get into it). Any =
knowledge of
this Del? The three top plate screws are centered over the three post
centerlines, so I suspect they may extend up to the
top.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080>As far as I =
know all
Baldwin verticals were built the same way. The back posts extend all the =
way to
the top and are separated by spacer blocks. The screws may or may not =
extend
into the back posts. There was a time there when shorter screws were
used.</FONT></DIV>
