have had to disassemble three bass sections in the last few weeks. Got them all working good, but after studying them, I can see there is a need to adjust the what I call “tines” that come off the long shafts in the back of the unit and make contact with the button shafts at the little pins that are on the button shaft. Some of the tines do not contact the little pins on the button shafts with any consistency at all in regards to placement or distance. These tines also function to return the bass buttons to the upright position and make them all level. Is there a tutorial somewhere on the net about this adjustment, and do any of you have any thoughts or practices to share about carefully adjusting the tines and there proper mating with the bass button shaft pins. Have a look at the end of the tines and how random the contact is with the pins. Thanks.

PS. Looking at this pic, I see there is a pin missing! Have to fix that.
