Hello All,  I have the opportunity to acquire a 1920 Haines Bros. Ampico
upright foot pumper, which, of course, needs lots of restoration work.

I've been told this is a rare piano because of the foot pumper Ampico.
Other than the fact that maybe it's rare, is there any advantage to having
a foot pumper reproducing player?  Could anybody offer any input on this?
