String Replacement Question

[Alan R. Barnard]

Much easier to put the string on BUT not, IMO, worth the trouble to in and out an Acrosonic action.
You need: A hemostat or two and/or small Vice-Grip pliers and/or electrician's aligator clips, brake-line stringing tool (or equivalent), regular stringing tools, and patience.
Put this string of words into a Google search window: brake line (string OR stringing) site:www.ptg.org

Dear List.
 
I have the pleasure ot replaceing a couple of strings on a Baldwin Acrosonic drop action spinet in a couple of days.  This is a plain wire pair right smack dab in the middle of the beast at about D#4.  A while back a guy at Schaff's gave me condolences when he heard I was working on a drop action spinet.  I know they are not a fun thing.  My question is this:  Is this significantly easier if I remove the action?  Or is that too big a pain?  Aby other tips as I approach this challenge?
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
