Thanks for your input.

I think you're stuck with the leg bolts
being too long. I've run across this. It's a pain. Movers
will just use whatever screws there are, but sometimes, the back screws
are longer than the front legs screws. Why? God only knows...
Try that. You'll have to prop
up a leg and remove the leg bolts/screws and see.

No, the shift (left) pedal does not work any more. I am
not quite sure what you mean by the
pedal return spring/wooden slats could hang up on either the back rail
or balance rail. What would I do to remove the action then?

Hi Ursula,
I'll chime in on the 'lowered panel' keybed idea, and the possibility
that one of the pedal return spring/wooden slats may have broken.
They could hang up on either the back rail or balance rail and still
allow you to lift and shift. Do all the pedals work properly?
