Unbelievable Workmanship S&S action jam

[Fenton Murray]

BTW, Dave, I do like your thinking. So, the guy that did this says to
himself as he's installing the action. "Self, if someone needs to pull the
action all they need to do is pull the plate and cut out the pinblock".
Seriously, I think I'd probably go with your idea if the piano is a rebuild.
