I have seen a couple of instances where a mover put the wrong screws in the leg. They will accidently put a longer screw in that will go through the key bed and into the action frame. Or maybe the screw was loose and someone tried to "repair" it by putting in a larger screw. I have also seen screws counter sunk into the front rail, screwing the action down to the key bed. They are at a bit of an angle, almost under the white keys and could be hard to find if there is 100 years of dust and cat hair in there.
