That's the clue that tells you it ain't the mounting posts, or anything having to do with anything not self contained within the action. I'd not only never seen this in a vertical, I'd never even HEARD of it before. The wippins, jacks, and flanges are intact. The hammers, butts, and flanges are intact. The dampers, levers and flanges are intact, and everything's screwed down securely to the rail, including the damper lifter bar hinges. The rail is firmly screwed to the brackets too. Spooky, isn't it? Ron N
