88-Note Player Miscellaneous
By Jim Canavan
A few different things, all player-related:
I'm searching high & low for the Loud Pedal On/Off switch & plate for the spoolbox of a Standard Action 88-note player. Does anyone know of a source (or have one in their parts box they'd be willing to sell?) The Player Piano Co. has a toggle switch that will work, but it's less-than-historical-looking, and requires a bigger hole to be drilled in the spoolbox side. Any info or leads, please e-mail me at CYBRFLASH@aol.com. THANKS!
Bob Conant suggested covering the end holes of the 88-note tracker bar with drafting tape to play Expression/Reproducing rolls...I've been tempted to try this, Bob, but am bit worried about gumming up the tracker bar...after removing the tape, will I need to clean it with anything? Fantastik, 409, etc.? Thanks for your help!
Jason...Regarding the 1812 Overture on a non-Expression roll...check your QRS catalog. They have a 2-roll set of the piece, #80024 ($23.95).
