MMD friends,  Now, with the recent photoplayer talk and some emailing,
my memory has been jarred a bit on the possible use of the early
Autopiano parts I have on hand.

I believe one of the gutted photoplayers I saw in Maine almost 20
years ago was at a tourist attraction called "Bryant's Stove Works"
and now called "Bryant's Stove Museum" or something, and it's still
a going concern as I looked it up on the Internet.  The owner was,
and I gather he still is, 'Joe Bryant', a large, extremely friendly
and eccentric man.  At that time they offered restoration of antique
wood and gas stoves and Joe was fixing up countless player pianos for
fun and selling a few too.

While fixing up an old Victorian home I had then (that once was
a bordello for the railroad) I was looking into having a 1920s gas
range refurbished and got the "El grande" tour early one morning!

Among the stove shops was his player piano shop and show room,
miscellaneous collections of anything and everything, some very nice
antique automobiles which he let me drive one of around the yard.
We went inside his house to see a Steck upright Duo-Art he rebuilt
as a basic player only (all the other stuff was just in the way,
I guess) and in the cluttered garage as I recall was a hulking gutted
photoplayer piano with an oak mission style cabinet.  It's possible
it may still be there, if anyone cares to look into it.

Now, as far as the Autopiano parts I have, I checked out the stack for
a party on the West Coast and for anyone else who may be interested the
scale breaks are bass 28, tenor 30, treble 30.
