And so it continues...
Gordon, to answer your questions-
1-no I didn't swdge a thing. One nice thing about this instrument is that the keys are made of kryptonite or something. They're almost impossible to bend!
2-I just did check and no, the crow's foot isn't touching anything it shouldn't. As a matter of fact it doesn't touch the E/B key at all unless I actually push down on said (E/B) key.
3-the F#/C# is not entirely locked, but only has about 1mm of action (before it was locked up even worse, and I have no idea what I did to fix this aside from take it apart several dozen times!) between fully closed (as it should be) and open about a mil under pressure.
4-the F/C has the same issue as the F#/C# only in reverse, so sort of as it should be.
5-yes, it is true that the keys have proper action when I mount only one.
6-well, I hadn't tried it until you mentioned it. Yes, if I put the two key on without E/B and Ab/Eb keys on it does bind.
In response to your next question, yes, I pulled of the pads and put thinner ones on, and no, that didn't solve a thing.
At this point I'm about to give up. I've got my computer on my bench and it's watched me pull these keys off so many times that if someone does come up with the right answer it may be able to do the job without me!
