Hi David.

Why convert this ? I believe that the rocker system has less friction =
and better feel for control on the action than the capstan one (because, =
I think, the key never looses contact with the whippen).  The only =
drawback of this system is that you spend much more time servicing it.  =
But with improved skill, you can reduce it to normal.

Regards,

St=E9phane Collin.

  I am considering converting a Bechstein Rocker Arm capstan arrangement =
(1910, IV) to a standard capstan configuration.  Any suggestions or =
warnings before I pursue it further.
