FS Free: Player Pianos in Northern California
By David Dewey

Hi all, it has finally happened: I have to be out of my shop by July.
I am in Oroville, California, and I have many things that need to
find a new home!

* Two upright players needing complete restoration, and I'll even
throw in some parts like front and center rail pins, and felts.
You might even talk me out of enough tracker bar tubing for each
of them!

* I also have two small pump organs: one from the 1880s and one from
the 1970s. That's not a typo -- the 1970s!

* Oh yes, I almost forgot: a Wurlitzer upright theatre organ piano
(no keyboard) with the pressure player system, with a complete set
of new hammers ready to install and with a PianoDisc system for
converting it to MIDI control. (There is no room in the theatre
for the piano so we are using a "virtual" piano instead; it sounds
pretty good, even!)

* There's some other pipe organ parts too, plus three 3-manual
electronic theatre organs, two with external speakers.

I have a new email (below) 'cause my old email won't let me send
any messages!
