Ampico Transmission Frame & Rubber Motor Mounts
By Bob Taylor

I would like to encourage anyone who might need Ampico transmission
frame and rubber motor mounts to immediately communicate your needs
with Don Teach.  The transmission frame is absolutely essential to
keep these instruments alive.  Any instrument that has the original
transmission still installed will soon become inoperable as these
transmission (pot metal) are guaranteed to fail.

Owners of Ampico B's who plan on motor mount replacements should note
that the pumps on those instruments use the same rubber mounts.  Many
pianos were restored without replacing the rubber mounts, and now
those mounts are failing.  If Don is not made aware of your needs,
the production run may be too small.

Give Don your support to make these vital parts.

Bob Taylor
