Unknown Orchestrion Conversion Kit
By John Klungle

[ Ref. Brian Grado in 190729 MMDigest --

Looks similar to work done by "Pumps and Pedals" out of Elmhurst,
Illinois.  Usually there is a sticker inside with this name.  Most
of the components were from Player Piano Co.  I have most of the
same components like this piano has that came out of a newer Aeolian
conversion that was done by Pumps and Pedals.  The piano was neglected
and was not worth restoring so I salvaged the components.

I live on the lower west side of Michigan and have seen a couple of
the newer Aeolian conversions done by Pumps and Pedals.
