dI have a school client who was gifted a relatively "new" Baldwin grand.  It has a Baldwin Concertmaster player system in it.  The control box uses CD's (it's that old), and the box sticks out on the left side of the keybed, causing a knee-knocker situation.  The school does not use or want the player system.  The action also has some serious hammer distance problems.  I want to remove the entire system for them.  Questions:  should the existing system interfere at all with the regular action (as it possibly does)?  Have you removed this type of system, and if so, any difficulties?
