Gawd Almighty there.... looks like you have a no loose situation on your 
hands there.

    List,
    Thought some of you might like to see these pics.   I just finished
    plugging over 400 holes(I know that key replacement should have been
    considered, but it is not possible for this customer), and that was
    after I left what I hope to be a basic starting weight pattern in
    the keys.  I just weighed the leads that came out.  To be honest, I
    was a little dissappointed  they only weighed 15 pounds.  Oh well. 
    I would be interested, though, to find out where that stands as far
    as bragging rights go.

    Oh.  The key weighing was part of an S&S "B" rebuilding 10 years ago
    that included Renner Blues on shanks with a 16mm pin to knuckle
    measurement, pinblock replacement without glueing it in or fitting
    it to the flange and also pushed the plate back to shorten #88 to
    about 46 mm, delignit block with VERY tight pins and coils 10 to 12
    mm above plate.  This piano is just a joy!  :-(

    Back to the grindstone.
