I have a 1923 Autopiano, recently professionally moved from Michigan to
a second home in St. George, Utah.  Upon arrival, we find that rolls
will reverse, but not advance.  We want to pursue a settlement from the
insurance company and have to find some way to get a repair estimate
(in this out of the way place.)  Do you have any suggestions?

Sincerely,
