FS: Ampico Grand Player Drawer
By Bob Rice

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I would like to sell an Ampico player unit (drawer?) for a Grand style
piano.  This rectangular object in a black wooden case is 44" long,
15" wide, 6" deep and full of mysterious tubing, valves, hoses, an
electric motor, chains, gears, etc.  It weighs 50 lbs.  It has an
Ampico logo under the roller but I can find no serial or model number.

I know precious little about what I have (as you probably have already
determined!) but I've been told by experts that it is a "grand style
player with a wind motor, spool drive transmission, tracker bar and
expression pneumatics."  I was told it may have a value to a rebuilder
in the neighborhood of $200 to $300.  I am open to any and all offers.
I can e-mail you photos of the unit, and will do my best to answer your
questions.

Thank you,
Bob Rice
