Seek Help Restoring My Player Piano
By Brian Shaw
[ Ref. William Wylie in 25.07.30 MMDigest ]
Hi William. Another timeless book on the subject is
Givens, Larry: Rebuilding The Player Piano. Vestal, NY: The Vestal
Press. 1963.
There is also a lot of useful information at the PlayerCare web site:

I was just a few years older than you (many decades ago) when
I restored my first player piano, a 1925 Leonard with Lester player
action. If your Lester player action is like mine, it has a unique
feature of the pouches being oval rather than round. There is someone
on eBay that had pre-cut pouches for that player action.
Good luck; it's a big project that is fun and full of new skills to
learn. At the end, you'll have the pleasure of playing your player
piano!
