[Files] Question for Pianotech

[jrpiano at win.eastlink.ca]

I was unable to open the bin file, with my PC.
I am hesitant to download the file that supposedly opens it, as it mention something about being more susseptable to virus problems.

  I seek information on this action and I enclosed 3 photos to Pianotech. The posting was rejected with no reason given so I believe the photo files might have been to large. 


  I reduced the resolution of the photos as much as possible and still retain detail and would like to post the question again to Pianotech . I believe the photos are essential to clarify the question. Any help you can give will be appreciated.


  Thank you, Wayne Matley RP

  Malcom Love upright circa 1898-1903. Good general condition for it's age. 


  I have been a member of PTG since 1963 and active in piano tuning and repair since
  1960 and have never before ran across an action such as this:


  The piano has a standard upright action with the exception of having an
  adjustable wippen rail. Adjusted up and down with shims.


  More unusual is, the right pedal actuates a rod, like the damper rod, that
  lifts a series of small levers, accomplishing nothing, so it appears some
  part or parts might have been removed at some time. 


  On the keyboard side of the action are visible wires connecting adjacent
  levers one each side of the wippens that lift when a key is played, still
  accomplishing nothing.


  It is not a player piano with the player mechanism removed.


  The damper pedal is in the center and is obviously designed that way and
  operates normally. Any information that could be provided will be greatly
  appreciated.
