Steger Artemis Player Action Valves
By Luke Myers

In the August 21, 1999, MMDigest, Andy Taylor said,

  "One very good player action that has got a bad rap is the Steger
  Artemis.  This action has its valves suspended by a piece of zephyr
  skin, and the valves don't always pull tight.  There are several
  ways around this problem, including replacing the valves with
  Standard-type valves and guides.  The old Artemis is still playing,
  and it's as tight as any other player."

 [ Ref. http://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Digests/199908/1999.08.21.04.html 
 [ and http://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/KWIC/A/artemis.html  -- Robbie

The part about "replacing the valves with Standard-type valves and
guides" intrigued me.  Is it possible that at some point this had been
done to my Steger action?  There is no evidence of any zephyr-skin tabs
ever being used in the stack.  Or, if they had been, it must have been
for a _very_ short time, like one to two weeks.
