If you don't already have them there are a couple of items I would
suggest. One is the book, "Player Piano Servicing and Rebuilding" by
Art Reblitz. It was published by Vestal Press. I understand some
people have had a problem obtaining a copy lately, but Art was at the
Chicago MBSI convention selling the book. You might drop him a note.
His address is:
Art Reblitz
P.O. Box 7392
Colorado Springs CO 80933
He also wrote a useful book, "Piano Servicing Tuning and Rebuilding".
You should also obtain a catalog from The Player Piano Company.
