Player Piano Help Offered
By Geoff Ward

In reply to the posting by David Row (MMD 120218) asking for help with
his player piano in Singapore.  Hello David, always scroll down.  You
never know what you might find.

I have built a vacuum pump for my Beale pianola.  You can see a video
of it working on YouTube by following this link:

Make sure that you click on the "Show more" button to see the story
about this job.

If you want to go ahead with installing a vacuum motor, let me know if
you think that I can help.  The alternative would be to buy a ready-
made vacuum pump from John Tuttle's Player-Care.com.  Follow this link:

With this pump, you will also need a transformer of sufficient capacity
to drop the voltage from 220V to 110V.
