I'm going to gracefully disagree. As much as I do not like working on 
spinets, this particular job/repair has yielded me personally some good 
return on my time. I admit I do not enjoy sitting under a keybed for 
hrs. at a time shattering the remainders and replacing with the Acrylic 
elbows, but I price it to a point where the client either does all of 
them or call someone else. Most Lester Spinet owners I have encountered 
love their piano..there's some sort of sentimental value placed with 
them with most of these owners.

I don't like it because of my body position, but in the end, they have a 
functioning piano and my pocketbook feels better for it.
