I am in need of a complete set of Welte Licensee parts for a grand
installation.  I am only interested in pristine, undamaged original
condition parts.  I will need the drawer, stack, _intact_ poppet rail
with lead tubing, expression parts and pedal pneumatics.  I also want
all mounting cleats and brackets intact.

Recently I acquired a set of Welte parts that a store had removed from
a small Baldwin/Hamilton grand.  I acquired these parts from them.
Unfortunately, except for the pump and motor, all the other parts were
severely damaged during removal.  It seems their employee simply ripped
the parts out of the piano, breaking and damaging virtually everything.
The poppet rail had the lead tubing ripped out and then the rail itself
was yanked out breaking it into pieces.

Ideally I would like to find someone with a small Licensee grand that
is slated for gutting and I can remove the parts myself.  I hope to
find something within driving distance of Chicago.

Thanks,
Dave Krall
