Mark,
 
To sort this out takes a lot of time, but the end result is worth it. I  will 
be happy to advise you off list.

On mine  most of the keys need less pressure than the manual  advises 
especially on the newer tape rack.  Unfortunately the new  and old racks need  fairly 
different adjustments and I think I  probably need to adjust the angles on 
the pressure pads which I find a  real bind, does anybody know an easy way of 
doing it? 
The best I have come up with is to remove the best and worst sounding  
pressure pad from the tape rack and then alter the angle of the pad of  the worst to 
match the best.
However the old rack is sounding particularly good at the moment and  I have 
got over my M300 string obession and learned to love the 3  violins. I might 
have a go at it in the winter ( hot summer days here  now ) or then again 
working on my motto of "if it ain't broke dont't fix  it" I might just leave that 
rack in until the tapes  break.
