Hi All.  Don't know if there is any interest, but all this discussion
lately on pouches has sparked my memory of an emergency player piano
repair I did about 3 years ago.

A friend was planning a party for the next day and wanted to use her
player for entertainment, and she discovered at the last minute that
it wouldn't play.

I found several badly decayed pouches in some of the function boxes
(play, auto-rewind, etc.) under the keyboard (fortunately the stack
pouches were OK).  I made a quick trip to the local drug store for
some thin latex rubber gloves, cut circles out of them and glued 'em
in.  They lasted over a year and, of course, got her through her party.

Best Regards

Lee Roan
