1890's Everett upright

[Fenton Murray]

Understood, Frank. Actually, the very possibility that I'll be that deep in 
old parts in an old upright is slim, but I definitely paid many dues with 
uprights and the suggestion is something I never tried. Always more to 
learn, I think this one would fall into the tricks of the trade category
