Introduction
By Marc Finlen

Good Day to All,  My name is Marc Finlen.  My wife and I have been
wanting a player-piano for awhile.  We finally acquired what I think (and
hope!) is an older player that I can restore.  I am new to this but do
have a fair knack for mechanical devices and have been reading up on the
subject with Arthur Reblitz's book.

Sorry to ask for information without yet contributing, but can anyone
give me a source or a point of contact to try to gather some historical
info on this piano?  More to satisfy my curiosity than anything.  Any
help would be appreciated.

I look forward to gaining a keener insight from you all and hopefully
contributing in some way.

Thanks.

Marc Finlen

 [ Welcome to MMD, Marc.  I think you'll have a lot of fun restoring
 [ your piano.  Send us another note with some details: make, serial
 [ number (near the tuning pins), and your general impressions.  The
 [ experienced techs in our group can then give you some history and
 [ specific pointers.  Good luck and write again.  -- Robbie
