Rick has discovered the mother list of "shall I buy a player piano"
questions.  I'm sure he'll get lots of comments on the net but since I
am in Rochester (actually Pittsford) I will welcome him to contact me
and perhaps I can give him a hand and some help.  If he's lined up with
someone who wants $7000 for a rebuilt player, he'll need it.   A friend
of mine just 'disposed' of 3-4 players - one had no piano action and he
gave me the player for parts so I can build a new valve chest for my
most recent project. So Rick, give me a call.

BTW  Thanks to Jody for getting me back on the list at my other
workstation at work.  My proprietary PC died after 8 years just as I
was converting over to a conventional PC.  I can't get to the list every
day but I hope to get a word in once in a while.
