Seek Starr Pneumatic Pouch Blocks
By John Acton

I am hoping to complete restoration of a Starr upright player.
Considerable work -- hammers, strings, keys and more -- has been
accomplished. However a prior worker removed, and lost, all 88
of the pouch blocks for this action.

This a later Starr action: single valve, 3 decks, valves in the deck,
pouches contained below in the upper (fixed) leaf of the pneumatic.
I am hoping to find a set, or a sample block; these should be easy
to remake if even one is available as a pattern.
