Leveling Diatonic Accordion Keyboard

[John G]

Hi All,

I have been completely restoring a 1920s diatonic accordion as a starter project. The keyboard initially had a few broken springs so I have been replacing them (this is why some keys are out in the pics). The keys I replaced in particular are not level with the others. Does anyone know how to go about leveling the keyboard for an accordion of this type? Accordion Revival and all other resources I have reviewed online are for piano accordions.

Thanks,

-John

It's pianobox centred but the Accordion Revival advice applies. You'll have seen this page

Thank you Tom, I clearly glossed over that section when reading it initially.
