Seek Seeburg KT Tube Layout
By Mark Weyna

I'm working on an early Seeburg KT (scissor-style pump, single stroke
xylophone, triangle, castanets, tambourine) that was restored many
years ago but has sat silent for the last five or more years.

The machine runs as if it has a massive vacuum leak: the pump reservoir
barely pulls in and the stack pneumatics dance a little but won't
strike a note.  Yet there is not a tell-tale hiss to make things easy.
Probably a bunch of little leaks.  But before I start pulling things
off to isolate the problem area, I'd like to know that it is tubed
properly to begin with.

I have the G tracker layout, but I'd love to see something that shows
the small valve boxes and the rewind pneumatic layout and logic.  This
machine came with twelve rolls, including a few really old ones that
I'm dying to hear!
