I rebuilt an upright pumper about 20 years ago that had a switchable
tracker bar.  It was one tracker bar with two roll of holes in it,
neither one was centered in the tracker bar if I recall correctly.
A lever switched which row of holes was actually connected to the
tracker bar tubing.

I don't remember the brand of the piano but I think I know where
the piano is in Southern California if anyone is interested in more
information.  I don't think there was anything special about the player
mechanism, it was a fairly conventional rebuild.
