Bringing a mentor/friendly local competitor out to the job might be a 
good idea. Failing that, order a bushel load of CDs and publications 
from the PTG Home Office, and do a lot of reading before returning to 
the piano.
More to the point, Sid Stone wrote a column in the Piano Technicians 
Journal in the late '70s, one of which was a nice troubleshooting guide 
to diagnosing the causes of "sticky keys." His list had some 20 
possible causes, and the way to diagnose them. Perhaps this is on the 
old reprints CD?
