Asbestos in Player Piano Suction Turbine
By David Winkelblech

I read somewhere (perhaps here) about the possibility of asbestos in
older vacuum motors made for player pianos.  I have a Duo-Art Pianola
64-note that I have rebuilt and am donating to a nursing home.  Can
anyone tell me if this is true?  If so, I'll just remove the motor
and they can just use the foot pedals.  I would rather leave it intact
if possible.  Thanks in advance.
