Re: Test Vacuum Source
By Brett Mohr
I would like to thank all who responded to my question on vacuum source's. Les Smith, I am going to try your test for a leak free player to see how my last restore worked. In the PLAYER PIANO SERVICING AND REBUILDING BOOK by Arthur Reblitz, he say's that "a well restored pump will hold suction for a minute or more ", I tryed this on my pump and at best I could only get about 1/2 minute. Is this realistic ? I put in all new leather gaskets sealed with shellac and phenol seal on all interior parts that could be sealed. I just wondered how others have faired ? Also Doug Rhodes, you talked about a water manometer, could you give me more info on them (What is a good brand, Where do you find them, ect. ?)
I have downloaded all of the old digest's and am working my way thru them. It was great to have them in a ZIPPED form Jody! It sure made it a lot faster to F.T.P .
