Seek Ampico B Drawer Tubing Connectors
By Rob Buskop

This writer is presently involved in the restoration of a Marshall
& Wendell Ampico B grand piano, from which the "floating" tubing
connectors, from under the keybed are missing (both sets of two on
either side of the center).

These allow the tubing from the rear end of the stack to fold nicely
into a slant N before reaching the fixed connector strip that is
mounted under the keybed, just in front of the stack connector elbow
strip.  If anyone out there has a these available, please let me know.

Also missing is the circular space maintaining wire assembly that is
normally mounted on the pump to prevent the belly cloth touching the
pump drive wheel.

Thanks.
