It has a "one legged spider" sitting on each jack, anybody knows wich one I'm talking about? The only way to regulate the hammer hight and letoff was to remove the springs in the front. Afterwards I put the springs back to regulate the dip. I couldn't regulate the hammer height in the bass because the hammers would break in the pinblock taking the action in and out if I raised them so they are still resting on the Hammer rest. I can remember a discussion of an action like this. Can anybody remember a key word for the archives? Any comments? Would I done it another way? It's still in the shop so I can change it. Wondering Ola Andersson
