What I meant when I said "it should be obvious..." was, the tubes will
be broken, replace them!  In order to find out what tube on the tracker
bar, goes to what lead tube, you might try this:

Assuming the player action is working, take some tape (masking or
whatever) and cover the ends of the lead tubes.  Then pump up the
action.  If everything is working correctly and there are no leaks in
the lead tubes (or anywhere else), no pneumatics will close.  Then, with
the action pumped up, start uncovering the ends of the tubes from one
end.  The pneumatics should close as you open the tubes.

By doing this, you should be able to determine a pattern of the order
in which the lead tubes are arranged to know how tube it to the tracker
bar.

Have fun!
