Was he able to pull the fallboard off and look for screws behind that area?
Also, would there be screws on the front of the cheek blocks that would need to be loosened? (I've never seen this before, but hey, it seems like an option.)

Greetings List,
A local tech who is not on this list reports looking at a 1968 model G0 Yamaha 4'8" grand that appears to have no way to remove the keyboard end blocks for action removal. He says there are no visible screws anywhere holding it in, whether top, bottom or side. I asked him if there were rubber case bumpers on top of the blocks? He says yes, and was aware that a screw could be underneath, but that the buttons do not seem to be able to be removed without damaging them, so assumed that wasn't the answer. I have no experience with this model. Anybody know off hand what's going on? Am I right in suspecting screws are underneath those buttons?
Thanks in advance,
