RE: Clarinet overhaul

Don, Thanks for the very helpful comments. I will certainly look out on the BB for Jim Butler and Dee, with a view to picking their brains. A couple of repairers I spoke to recently were honest enough to admit that they steer clear of 1010's on the rare occasions they see one. In case anyone else picks up on this thread, here is my problem in a nutshell:
I have only limited experience in clarinet overhaul but I am ofay with the fact that the 'crows-foot' on the RH C key is the critical area for regulation of the bottom F sharp and E natural, ie for setting the 'time of arrival' of these two pads.

In the case of the 1010, it has no crows foot beneath the C key, so how do I regulate these keys? I have tried to do 3 or 4 1010's with varying degrees of success-it is never 100% satisfactory. Being a stickler for 'the right way' of doing things, I would love to know a system of approach to this problem. Thanks for taking the time to reply Don, and good luck to you.
