Greg,
There is plenty of space between the drop screws and the pin block. From all the mail I read, it will probably be a screw holding up the back of the action on the treble side. I hope to have some time next week to check it out and hopefully find the problem. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for your effort.
Ursula

Ursula,
I haven’t seen this mentioned yet but I’m
guessing that you’ve already looked for this. Are the drop screws
dragging on the underside of the pin block?

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?
