Bellows Cloth Nightmare
By D. L. Bullock

Has anyone in the last several years restored a pneumatic player system
and been peeved by how much pedaling you must do to play it?  Has
anyone been disappointed in how your restored reproducer played after
restoration?  I have had an absolute nightmare with the bellows cloth
everyone uses right now.  I have determined this cloth is not usable.
However, I have solved the problem for me and for you, too.

One Standard Pneumatic system reservoir bellows detached from the
system took only 30 seconds to open while taped closed after being
covered with heavy bellows cloth with fleece back.  This is not normal,
or at least it shouldn't be.  I replaced the new cloth with my new
cloth and covered it a few days ago.  It now takes over 30 minutes for
the reservoir to open all the way up.

Here is where you find the link to the complete sad story.  It is way
too long for this list.  Read it and avoid wasting your time and money.
