 Ken; 
   Since you say the piano has all original parts we can 'probably' leave out 
the decal as a consideration :-).............

  Moving the entire stack 'probably' will not gain very much but it might be 
worth a try.  From your description it sounds as if the frame rest/stop block 
needs to be adjusted. S&S has occasionally shown this problem, but usually it 
happens when someone tries to "get by" on a regulation with the bare minimum 
and shifts everything to the left , or toward the bass end. This will show up 
as the symptoms you describe.
  As someone else has mentioned you 'really need to know' where the 
underlevers meet the end of the keys 'before' doing much with this thingee.  
If the underlever marks are toward the treble side of the key, i.e., almost 
on the edge of the key, than working with the stop/rest block should solve 
your problem. 
   It would be helpful to us in cyber land to know the position of the string 
line(s) on the hammers in the bass/agraffe section also.
