Hello.  I have a Tuneyville player piano that won't power up.  It was
our child's, a gift in 1979, much loved and carefully cared for.  It
was put away in the toy chest until a year ago.

I opened the front and didn't see any broken wires or loose ones.
The keys on the keyboard are connected to their hammers.  It has new
batteries, with apparently good contact with the on-off lever, but no
power to create sound.  Do you have any experience with repairing this
toy?  Or any suggestions?  Thank you very much.

 [ At https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_piano -- In the 1960s, the
 { Tomy Toy Company offered the Tuneyville Player Piano using organ
 [ music, in which air blows through pipes.  The child can play the
 [ keys himself or insert a plastic disk to play a recognizable tune.

 [ These short videos at YouTube give a good demonstration of the
