re Mike's question - for many years the 926 and 1010 were just as you suggest, both same quality but different acoustic design, they were for some years both called "Imperial" and in the middle period the 926 had its keys all mounted on rods (I own 2 models from 1951 and 1953 both made this way).
I believe that because the 926 was the model bought primarily by the military that may have been reason for the move away from rod to point screws since rods don't take so kindly to rough handling and easily bind.
Both my instruments also show signs of hand tuning by gentle undercutting, something never found on their lower grade instruments.
In later years the quality control on both started to slip, probably more so on 926 than 1010, but I saw shoddy new examples of both in the late 70's.
