Seek On/Off Switch for Modern Aeolian Player
By Joel Holden

I'm looking for an on/off micro-switch solution to replace the
pneumatic "off" switch in a 1974 Aeolian Duo Art piano.  This piano
apparently originally had the optional automatic replay feature
installed, but some of the parts are missing.  The shut-off pneumatic
is now connected to the tubing that activates the re-roll unit
pneumatics, but of course as soon as re-roll is activated, so does
the shut-off pneumatic activate and it shuts off the motor.

I would love to replace the on/off function with a #652 on/off switch
like I've installed in upright pianos, but there is no room for this
switch in this spinet.  Has anyone experimented with or found a
micro-switch with a lever that toggles on/off (pull on/roll tab off)
that could work within this limited space?  Any suggested solutions
would be appreciated.

Thank you,
