Subject:    Plate-in and out

Hello all,

After years of removing and installing grand plates by standing the piano=
 on
its side and tipping the plate out I've decided that me and my back are t=
oo
old for such foolishness and I purchased a good chain hoist, lifting stra=
ps
etc. Now, can anyone tell me the secret for hooking the damn thing up so =
that
the plate will raise in a suitably flat plane,e.i., not tilted one way or=
 the
other or too low in the back?

I collected some material and had a shoe shop make three pull straps out =
of moving strapping.  You need the moving strap, three steel ring (hardwa=
re or surplus store) and three moving strap buckles or "D" ring sets. I u=
sed the "D" rings, but would use the buckles if I had to do it over again=
.  Just have the shop sew the rings (that slip on to the hoist hook) abo=
ut a foot from the buckle end. Then to use, just find three spots on the =
plate that are fairly equidistant and slip the free end of the straps aro=
und you select plate spots and then through the buckle.  When you get all=
 three straps fastened you can tighten the straps by trial and error to g=
et the plate to lift evenly.
