I have worked on several 1970s Aeolian players and most have
needed a new suction box (because of a weak motor).  Does anyone
have experience with these players?  They have a plastic valve unit
on top of the suction box that I am assuming is where the problem is
(in addition to weak suction).  Most available suction boxes have
only one hose outlet, but the Aeolian needs several.

In the past I have just drilled a hole in the large tube coming out
of the top of the suction box and inserted the small hose in it (yes,
I know it is not the best way).   I hope there is someone out there
that has repaired several of these and knows the best way to do it.
