Seek Crank for 1899 Aeolian Push-up Player
By Tom Hutchinson

Hi MMD,  I want to thank the six or seven folks who responded to
my request for a push-up piano player.  I was able to locate one
in amazing shape in the Kansas City area and the owner delivered it.
It is an Aeolian 58/65-note player dating from 1899.  I'm already
in the process of restoring it.

If anyone has for sale a crank that raises and lowers the unit onto
the keys I'd be interested in buying it.  Lastly, does anyone know
of a source of diagrams showing the internal layout of this model
of the Aeolian push-up?

Thanks,
Tom Hutchinson
