<< As to plate flexing - have you noticed the amount of flex on some of the
 Baldwin's from around the 40's.  I've run into a few where the tail of the
 plate sits about a 1/4 inch above the dowels with the bolts removed.  I've
 seen enough of these that it almost seems like it was a factory approach to
 setting bass bearing at that time.

Had the same thing on a 1927 Baldwin too. Sam G. Chicago
