Hi Sandy, Check out the listing of Player Piano Technicians at:

    http://www.player-care.com/playtech.html 

and then contact any of the technicians in your area.  I'll bet that
one of them would be proud to have one of their units on display.  I'll
also forward your letter to a large group of rebuilders, enthusiasts
and persons interested in Mechanical Musical Instruments.  Perhaps one
of them would be interested in helping.

Musically,
