Good luck! I've never gone that far with any upright. Have you also replaced the dreaded double flange action parts before? You'll come up with interesting combinations of swear words! Those are nice old pianos. Much better than 1098's. Chuck Behm in Iowa may have some good advise on this, but not sure if he is on any of the PTG lists.

Having never disassembled an upright before – what is the best way to remove the side panels and the part of the top lid that appears glued to the case? Are these pieces glued as well as screwed to the case? It would seem to me that removal of these panels is a must for refinishing and removal of the plate/board etc. Also, the complete top lid assembly must come off if I am to rout out the existing block. The piano will get refinished, new block new board. Your thoughts and experience would be appreciated. Gene Nelson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
