[pianotech] Aluminum action rail(s)

[Ron Nossaman]

I'm looking for a junk aluminum action rail or two, upright or grand, 
for some repair experiments and a possible Journal article - perhaps a 
repair service. Meanwhile, does anyone know what the material and temper 
is likely to be in these things? Are they 2024, 4045, 6063, 7075? Seems 
like a 6063 T4 ought to be a suitable mix of corrosion resistance and 
hardness, but I don't really have a clue what is actually used. In any 
case, I need a sample I can destroy in experiment without hurting 
anything important.

Email me privately with a price and we'll talk. Thanks.
