The answer to both ?'s is no.

A simple solution is to weigh the functioning key from the key pivot to the
front of the key and remove lead from the bad key until they are the same.

If there are helper springs adjust the weight to be the same then adjust the
spring tension until the down weight is the same.

If there is only one helper spring remove enoughg lead weight to make the key
function reasonably well.  Remove the front most weight first.

I thought about weighing the keys, but didn't know exactly what kind of a
weighing device to use.  By the way Mil gratzie for the help.
