I have a friend called Philip Archer who lives in Tasmania's second
largest town, Launceston.  (Some UK subscribers to this digest probably
know him.) He must be the unluckiest pianola enthusiast I know, because
he has a 65n Aeolian pushup that isn't working and a Broadwood grand
with an Angelus player action in it that doesn't work either, despite
his having spent a small fortune on it in Australia at the hands of a
couple of so-called player restorers.  This is after it was allegedly
rebuilt in the UK too!

At present both players are in Hobart (where I live) being looked at
with some trepidation I'm sure by what is the nearest we have to a
pianola rebuilding company.

These guys very much NEED a service manual; does anyone have one that
they would be willing to photocopy?  The Angelus grand player action
has large leather pouches instead of action pneumatics, by the way.
I'm told that if these actions are restored properly, they play
beautifully.

Of course Philip will pay for photocopying costs and for the airmail
postage.

He'd be most grateful for any help,   John Phillips.
