    Ed,  I'm sure you already did this but those little puppies can get awful slippy on their final loosening  on action removal  and fall down into either action or bottom board,  damhik.....martin.

    Jon I will text you a picture tomorrow.

    I did look all over and around the piano when I acquired it searching for the nuts. The piano came out of a school. Methinks the kids took em.

    Or perhaps they rolled down and got wedged between plate and soundboard?

    Ed, my landline does not take texts. I looked in my parts cabinet and in the knobs drawer, I found these two. They measure 23.5 mm at the widest part, height 18 mm. I also have different styles.
