  I have a Weber upright that I am slowly restoring.
  I Am just finishing restoring a Steinway "cow and calf", with the
bellows in a box on the floor under the piano. This piano is an early
(teens) D/A with a steamboat pump. The pump is kind of like a V-6 layout
compared to later rotary type layouts with four bellows. Steamboat pumps
have reducing pulleys to slow the motor speed of 1150rpm to pump speed of
72 rpm. The pulleys are often made of pot metal that grows, shrinks, and
breaks with time. I have developed a good replacement for them.
