Rebuilding Tom Thumb Recordo Player Piano
By Bob Stewart

I have started the rebuild on my Tom Thumb Recordo and have run into
a couple of issues I could use help with.

First, I need .125 inch I.D. tubing for the trackerbar and the special
connector that allows the tracker tubing to be split from the stack so
the piano can be tuned.  Does anybody have a source for the tubing?
The 9/64" tubing that is available falls off.

Second, the brass connector I mentioned before didn't have any type
of gasket between the mating halves when I separated it.  Did it
originally have one and if so what is the correct material?  The
connector is about 3" x 3" and has 80+ connection points.

Thanks,
Bob Stewart
