Hose Hanging Loose in Mathushek Player Grand
By Clarence Zeches

I have a customer who had his Mathushek player grand moved and now
it will not play when I put a roll on.  It will advance very slowly
but there is not enough vacuum to play the notes.  On the rewind it
seems to be normal.

There is one tube, which is larger than a tracker bar tube, hanging
loose.  I cannot see where it connects.  Many of the rolls that they
have are Welte rolls, however the one I tried did not line up properly
on the tracker bar.  Some holes did line up but others did not so
I suspect it may not be Welte system.

I would appreciate any help someone could give me.  I do not have
a tubing schematic for any of these grands.
