I had a fire in my workshop while I was away from home.  There was no
damage to the structure but everything is covered with soot and smoke
residue.  A lot of my player piano stuff was in the attic so it is only
lightly coated.  A cleanup company is going to remove everything from
the shop and we are going to decide what to clean and what to call
a loss.  I am probably going to toss most of the player stuff as there
is little point in putting a lot of effort into cleaning parts that
will never be used.  Unfortunately I do not have any place to store
a bunch of smelly stuff, just in case I do need it in the future.

I don't want to throw stuff away that others might be able to use and
will keep this in mind when sorting through everything.  I mainly have
parts from Duo-Art and a little Welte Licensee stuff.  If anyone needs
anything in particular, or if you have any other ideas about what to do
with this stuff, let me know.
