On the subject of suppliers we both agree that we are lucky to have the
few suppliers we have.  We use Schaff for our cloth (not the silk cloth)
and Schaff also has twill covered hose.  We also buy some pneumatic cloth
from Player Piano Co. and other little odds and ends.  Robert Streicher
is THE source for many professional rebuilders.  He makes a ton of parts
(Ampico and Duo-Art).  If you are buying a hundred of something give
Robert a call.

For small quantities please buy from Player Piano Co.  If you get a rude
person then make a joke and put them in good humor.  Try dealing with the
uneducated public all day wanting a doodad that goes whats its place.
Its tough.
