Seek Kimball Electramatic Player Piano Repair
By Carol Guida

Hi -- we have a vintage Kimball player that no longer moves the rolls.
The motor seems to still be working (at least it makes noise and has
power) but the main larger turning wheel no longer turns automatically
to either play or rewind.

I am wondering is there a simple solution to this problem?  Does it
sound like the motor or the transmission that could be broken?

Also, does anyone know of a person who does repairs in either the
San Francisco Bay Area or in Reno, Nevada?  The piano is at our cabin
but we could haul it home to the Bay Area if needed.
