Donald Dusenbury and Bruce Clark, I appreciate your replies and share
your sentiments.  I have rebuilt players, reproducers, and pump organs
for over forty years.  This is an old  restoration and it's time to do
it again.  I'm burned out and don't appreciate or enjoy the process any
more.  The only reason I am considering gutting the instrument is that
I don't think I can find one as pretty.

The electronic unit meets my requirements for the music, and the piano
looks great in the living room.  However I'm open and will be happy to
entertain offers for the complete piano or for the Ampico action.
Email me for a picture.
