Hello everyone.  It appears that my player piano restoration is
not complete.  After removing the pneumatics from the stack I found,
to my surprise and shock, that the valve facings that mate with the
pneumatics are made of sheepskin.  I don't know how the previous
rebuilder thought that the inside valves would still be airtight;
the sheepskin facings were left intact and not replaced with good
leather.

If anyone has 85 extra good leather inside valve facings with an
outside diameter of 6/8ths inch and an inside diameter of 1/8th
inch, and a height of 1/32 inch (approximate), I would very much
appreciate it.  I am in a hurry to get my player going.
