Hi Joe It is a Kimball About 1910 or so.
  The repair springs were attached to the hammer spring rail to give the =
broken springs for the dampers a chance to dampen.  The wire used is too =
stiff so these notes are rather stiff.

The dampers that still work have springs attached in the usual maner.
What I need to know is how to take off and replace the dampers when the =
slot that is in the brass rail is covered by the wood of the damper =
lever.
It looks as though one needs to remove the hammer spring rail and take =
out the dampers and hammers in a section then the dampers will be able =
to move forward enough to  get a screw driver on the screw.
There are only two screws attaching each rail section to the action wood =
rail.

    Hi folks,
    Just needing to know tricks or repair on a double rail on an =
upright.
    Some of the damper wires are broken and there is no way to get the =
screw loose that holds the damper wire on the rail.=20
    Does one remove the hammer spring rail and then the section ( both =
the dampers and hammers are attached to a single rail ) to repair?
    The last person tied wire to the hammer spring rail to work the =
dampers. Sort of works O:(
