[pianotech] Stroud BG fallboard removal "challenge"

[piannaman at aol.com]

 David,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I thought I looked for a plate there, but it may have eluded me.  I'll check it out at my next encounter with the Stroud.  It may have to wait until next year, which is okay with me...

Tilt the fallboard forward to 45 degrees and look at the
side.  There may be a thin metal plate which sits inside a slot on the end
of the fallboard.  Unscrew the screws that hold it in place and slide the
fallboard forward.   Not sure if this piano has this type but it
might.

Hi All,



The other day I was working on a small Stroud Grand that is actually in decent
shape--far better than one can expect from a "free piano."  I
was trying to get the action out to clean and inspect it, but I could not for
the life of me figure out how to remove the fallboard from the pins. 
There was no access to any kind of attachment on the face of the
fallboard.  The only apparent entry to anything was via slots on the
underside of the fallboard (in "up" position) slide down over the
mounting pins.  



Anybody have any experience with these?  



Thanks,



Dave
