Howard, I can measure one later today but, knowing the Autopiano
action, I doubt that the 1/8" difference in span will affect the
playing. Granted, it's not a good sign of quality rebuilding, but
being an 88-note player it likely has little effect (unless the
span is too little and it can't adjust to the pianos action).
