Hmmm, I had my chopped C3 lugged around 3-5 nights a week for over
5 years and never messed with these tie-down bolts.  The organ was
trouble-free the entire time (aside from a broken key now and then).
Did I just get lucky?  Is it possible that it was always in the
"tied-down" state?  What adverse effects would that have had?  I'm
considering picking up a used A-100 and would like to know if this is
something I should be concerned with.
