Hi, All.  Am in need of a 88-Note Simplex player transmission.  Would
prefer one from the late 'teens or early 1920's.  Someone futzed with
the one we have got on a player that we are restoring and it has gears
ground down and bent arbors.  Help, help, help -- save me recreating
this beast on the lathe and mill.  Thanks, everybody!

And while I've got your attention, is there anybody out there who has
an unrestored, un-gotten-into player piano in oak, made by The Cable
Company/Chicago, that they are will to sell?  (My eight-year-old is
just ready to start with Dad on such an animal; these are among the
simplest for a kid to start on and learn from).

I had a previously (botched) restored Cable, the ding-dong who worked
on it glued the pneumatics with Elmer's glue and _no_ newspaper.  Lots
of nuts and bolts and screws were salvaged, the rest is "ditch
material", as we say here in Missouri.

Again, thanks,
Karl Schröder
Princeton, Missouri
