Seek Rubber Mounting Blocks for Ampico B Pump
By Rob Buskop

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

Dear reproducing piano friends!  Quite a few years ago now, Durrell
Armstrong's Player Piano Company sold rubber mounts for the Ampico
pumps that were white in color and very soft and resilient.  Later
the same company only supplied their customers with much harder black
rubber mounts.  This last variety is much less effective in isolating
the pump vibrations from the piano.

As I am in the process of restoring an Ampico B instrument, I am quite
desperate to get a set of the soft white rubber mounts as mentioned
above.  Can anybody help, please?
