Ragtime Automated Music Built-up Orchestrion
By William Edgerton

An acquaintance asked me to look at a Ragtime build-up and I did so
today.  It plays very weakly and won't rewind; it had new bass strings
but old hammers!  I'd appreciate learning if anyone has experience with
the Ragtime system which is full of plastic pieces and if there might
be a service manual or something like that in existence.

Regards,

 [ can perform the installation if desired, and restoration of the
 [ piano is offered as an option.  See Ken Caulkins' article at
