Hi Mr. Johnson, When you do purchase your Vorsetzer I have some boxes of assorted Pianocorder related hardware (power supplies, solenoids, playback & record boards, key switches) and a...

•Hi Group. Does anyone service Pianocorders in the Orlando, Florida, area? I got an email from a woman there. It sounds like a tape deck problem. Arthur Marino

•I receive several inquiries per week seeking assistance with Superscope Marantz Pianocorder systems, generally from owners in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Each year, as the weather turns colder, there is a wave of email along the lines of "Need your help to get Mom's old Pianocorder playing aga...

•First I want to thank everyone who responded to my request for Ampico rolls [191111 MMD]. I have picked up several rolls and am enjoying them very much. Thanks to all of you! Next, I am in Southeast Iowa and I have a Marantz Pianocorder Vorsetzer that I have had in storage for a few years. I am pla...

Hello All, I'm Mike Jardin from San Jose, Ca. Like many of you, my interest in automatic music began many years ago with the purchase of an old player piano. It was amazingly well preserved for its age, and to this day continues to play well with only occasional repair. My piano has the Simplex play...

•What would the price be for a Mills Violano restored to museum specs, i.e. every screw chrome plated (as the original was), etc. And on the other side of the coin, what would be the price for a complete and working player unit removed from a Marantz Pianocorder (solenoids, wires, tape player, etc.)...

•It has been mentioned in MMD that Pianocorder built a few vorcetzers. Does anyone know how rare or desirable these are, or how much one would have to pay to get one ? Thanks Jody

•In Digest 970819, Don Teach describes the acquisition of the Pianocorder technology by Yamaha. Here are two brief articles from the industry press about that situation. From THE MUSIC TRADES (Jan 1990): The Winners and Losers of the 1980's: Losers: Marantz Pianocorder (The Perils of a Bad Forecast)...

•Is there anyone out there that is working on (or knows about) an interface unit that would make a PianoCorder into a MIDI device. I have been servicing PianoCorder Units for some time now and I've built up a clientele. Some of these people have expressed an interest in obtaining a unit that would a...

•Wayne Johnston inquired: > Is there anyone out there that is working on (or knows about) an > interface unit that would make a PianoCorder into a MIDI device. Bob Baker still manufactures the MC-2. It is an add-on device that creates a two way MIDI interface to the Pianocorder player system. One ni...

•I am thinking about purchasing an MC-2 MIDI Converter to run my PianoCorder. Is anyone out there familiar with these units? I would like to have some input about this unit before I invest in one. I am familiar with Electric Orchestra and I know they have the units for sale, however I am checking to...

•In Digest 980611 Tom Steuer mentioned problems with a Pianocorder. I have repaired many such units, as well as owning one of the Vorsetzer units sitting in front of my 1919 6'1" Stoddard-Ampico Knabe. (The piano and cabinet have been redone, but, sadly, the player mechanism sits idly by in boxes, d...

•Robbie, as a former Marantz sales representative, installer and dealer, I can answer a few things about Pianocorder. When introduced in 1978, the wholesale dealer price was $800 plus an additional $150 for the record option. Initially, to become a dealer you had to sign up for quite a few kits in a...
