It appears to be a very short time to do this.  If, as stated, the
average time, then some would only take 4-1/2 days and another then
could take 8 to 9-1/2 days.  All equipment must be right 'at hand'.

- 88 pneumatics: sanding the sides (times two pieces), cut cloth and
  glue: ? hours;
- Re-tubing above, including cleaning old tubing 'pieces' from
  tracker bar nipples: ? hours;
- Large pneumatics, pump bellows, reservoir, soft & sustain pedal
  vacuum regulator, rewind pneumatics: ? hours;
- Check all 88 valves: ? hours
- Roll drive motor: ? hours
- Roll frame and tracking device: check for worn parts: hours?
- New large tubing to be cut & fitted: ? hours
- Clean out piano interior: ? hours

I might have missed some work above.  It would be good for MMD'ers
to fill in their perspective totals of the above; not to prove Steve
Marx wrong as it were, but 'twould be an interesting "program" taking
note that the repair machinery and all the necessary equipment -- glue,
cloth and tubing -- is 'right-at-hand'.  There must be some readers
that have done all the above.

There is no mention of the piano "action" itself, which on a "old"
piano would need a full overhaul as mine did 35 years ago.  (It was
built in 1918.)
