There are driver boards under the cover that each solenoid will be plugged into you will have to remove the box and unpluG the wires if the wires are cut the solenoids will be unuseable They no longer use spring assisted solenoids but these could be used to keep older systems working if the owner took THE boards out you can remove the solenoids by unscrewing them with a1/4 nut driver

None. They just lift right out. Be aware, however, that older PianoDisc systems had to seriously modify the pedal trapwork. Sometimes that amounted to completely disabling the middle pedal and sometimes it was just reengineering it.

The client has a 2007 Steinway B that came to him with a Pianodisc system installed. He doesn't want it or use it, and has already removed all of the electronics. Is there any down side to pulling the action and removing all of the solenoids from the back of the action cavity? The touch has a slightly odd feel to it, above and beyond regulation issues, and this would be one more variable to eliminate.
Thanks!
