Does anybody have any experience with the Player Pianette built
in the nineteen-sixties by an Iowa company?  It's a sort of modern
Vorsetzer.

Instead of wheeling it up to the keyboard of a regular piano, it sits
on (or over) the keyboard with a solenoid plunger for each key.  It
incorporates a spool and motor of some sort which sits on top of the
piano, connected to the keyboard plungers by a cable to play a standard
roll.

I recently acquired one, which is currently dead.  I haven't had a
chance to open it up; the problem may be a simple loose connection.
It was working when last used -- but that was probably 20 years ago.
