Mr. Poulson said: "Good Afternoon: I was asked for a quote on a complete rebuild of a Kingsbury upright action - stripping it down to the action rails and replacing with all new parts. It has wooden flanges, so now rail modifications are needed. I have never actually done a complete teardown like this, and am wondering what woudl be the approximate number of hours to estimate for the job. Thanks for your help. Patrick C. Poulson Registered Piano Technician" Patrick, I would suggest you get my publication: "G" PIANO WORKS, Repair Labor Guide. You will find all aspects of rebuilding listed. Crunch the numbers and get the "bottom line".<G> BTW, it is available from Randy Potter. (And, yes I do get royalties.<G>) Best Regards, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
