There is no need to "replace" the bellows or any other parts except rubberized cloth, hoses and leather pouches and valve facings. Aeolean actions are one of the easier to restore. I do a lot of player restoration by mail. I can send you ful instructions on removing and re-installing the player action. If you like more information please drop me a line.
