Hello All, I've been away from MMD for awhile but I'm back to stay!
One of the things on my future agenda is restoring my 1913 Kimball
("pigeonhole") player piano, which (as some of you know) I very much
hate.  It's going to be #3 restoration out of the 8 players I have
remaining.

I'm a 30-year toolmaker (almost retired); I can design and machine
restoration tools and obsolete parts (this isn't a solicitation) and
I love challenges.  That Kimball is just the ticket for me.  Also,
I bought it because it fills a void, duplicating a family player piano
that I never saw (as a child of 9, that started me on player pianos).
The family Kimball was tossed in about 1972 after about 18 years of
horrible storage.

Well, to the point.  I want to find at least a picture of the unusual
player piano bench that accompanied the family player (maybe a Kimball
bench?).  It has the normal function of the player piano bench in that
it has the tilting top.  What makes it unusual is that the four legs
are criss-crossed and pivot in the center, like a scissors or a
saw-buck.  The legs themselves are "lazy-S" shaped.  I'd love to know
if anyone has seen one, any info and/or a picture.  I'm interested in
purchasing one if you have one.  I need quarter-sawn oak.

Thanks, and bye for now,

Dale Wilson
