Mr. B.
    Tossing some ideas around   the old brain pan,
I thought of the back action, loose damper lever leads, clicking flange
?---Too easy---
    This is a WN&G action with the Sostenuto rail and brackets at the end of
each section. Does the click go away with the action shifted?
    If so maybe misalignment with hammer ticking on some part of the
assembly
    Your clue about M&H gets one thinking about the models most significant
feature (controvesial  as it may be) .That is the tension
resonator-underneath.
    Farfetched but could that somehow be involved  ?
