FS: Ampico B System, Completely Rebuilt
By Spencer Chase

For sale: I have a complete Ampico B system from a 6'4" Chickering that
was completely rebuilt just a few years ago.  (Literally, this is not an
old piece of junk needing another rebuild!)  I am interested in selling
it at a huge discount from what it would cost for a proper rebuild.

If you have a suitable "gutted" piano, this will drop in and play,
needing only regulation.  Everything was rebuilt except for the original
pump bellows cloth which looks like it will outlast the modern materials.
New ball bleeds and other new Ampico parts from Robert Streicher were
installed.

I will sell the stack and drawer separately if no one wants the complete
system.  If this system is not sold soon, it will die from exposure
this summer as I will  need to store it in a hot attic.  I don't have
the room to give it the storage space that it deserves.

Best regards,
Spencer Chase
