Seek Ampico B Unit Valves & Pneumatics
By Kim Bunker

Hi all, Kim Bunker here from playerpianos.com.  John Brzozowski and
I are working on the restoration of an Ampico B and unfortunately
someone else had removed the stack with the intent of rebuilding it.
Well, they didn't, and they lost some parts.

From what I can see the parts we need are 10 valve blocks: (3) from
the top row, (3) from the middle row and (4) from the bottom row.

We also need 35 pneumatics.  I suppose we could make these but it's
so much better to have the original type pneumatic.  We need all of
the pneumatic push rods and both of the side mounting boards.

It's really a shame when you get started on a project to preserve
one of these types of players to discover the amount things missing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Sincerely yours,
Kim Bunker
