Seek Spool Box for Angelus Pouch Action Player
By David Evans

Hi,  We have the task of restoring a fine Angelus 65/88-note pouch
action player in a good Mason & Risch Canadian piano.  The only snag
is that the spool box surround is missing.

The tracker bar on these is attached to the stack, so what is missing
is the rectangular 'box', actually more of a frame, which is attached
to the piano plate with steel brackets, and all the transmission gear,
including the tracking cam and lever.  (The complete spool frame moves
with respect to the fixed tracker bar to achieve adjustment of the
tracking.)  We do have the roll motor, fortunately.

Has anyone anything we could purchase for this project?  Thanks in
anticipation.
