Stewart,
Sorry to be slow in replying but it's been a really busy week. I've restrung 2 Baldwin Accu-just grands so far this year and I'm about to do a third. Adjusting the downbearing is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. A modified C clamp with a notch cut in the end and the end ground off fairly flat works great as a string raising tool and is very similar to the factory tool. I also coated the body with plasti-dip to minimize any chance of dinging the plate finish.

Subject: Accu-adjust tool
Baldwin used to loan a tool for setting the string height on the accu-adjust hitch pin. I need to remove a set of bass strings on a Baldwin R. Anyone know anything about this? Or have a good way of setting the string height.
Thanks,
Stewart Freedman
