I used to to tunings at a school in Sherbrooke that had 20 of these beasts. I had a tuning tip welded to a replacement extension with a less than 45 degree angle so the tuning lever would come back a little to the front. You are lucky yours was a monocord. The school had a few that had 3 strings from the tenor up. I had to use action felt to mute since the tension was so low. As a matter of fact, tuning them was not so bad with ETD. The problem was (is) their actions. Talk about a weird one... to regulate (or just to make them work). Parts kept breaking. Just replacing a center-pin would greatly affect my mood for a day or two... I now refuse to touch them. I feel much better turning away from them then working on them. Since I have enough good pianos to work on...
