Search for an Angelus Manual
By John Phillips

I have a friend called Philip Archer who lives in Tasmania's second largest town, Launceston. (Some UK subscribers to this digest probably know him.) He must be the unluckiest pianola enthusiast I know, because he has a 65n Aeolian pushup that isn't working and a Broadwood grand with an Angelus player action in it that doesn't work either, despite his having spent a small fortune on it in Australia at the hands of a couple of so-called player restorers. This is after it was allegedly rebuilt in the UK too!

At present both players are in Hobart (where I live) being looked at with some trepidation I'm sure by what is the nearest we have to a pianola rebuilding company.

These guys very much NEED a service manual; does anyone have one that they would be willing to photocopy? The Angelus grand player action has large leather pouches instead of action pneumatics, by the way. I'm told that if these actions are restored properly, they play beautifully.

Of course Philip will pay for photocopying costs and for the airmail postage.

He'd be most grateful for any help, John Phillips.
