•I am having a problem with my Wurlitzer 125 band organ roll frame. While it's playing, every time in the middle of a song on the roll, it tries to go into rewind. Then it tries to go back into play and while it's trying to go back to play the music freezes then trips back into place. Does anyone kn...

•About 35 years ago (or maybe a few more) Jim Fleagle built an Ampico B Vorsetzer and used it to play a 9-foot Steinway concert grand piano. He closed their home in Seattle and moved to the Olympic Peninsula, taking it with him, and eventually he sold it. Does anyone know where it went? Tom Binnall ...

•I own a beautiful music box which has all the hallmarks of a premier piece. It has plays six Italian operatic airs and has a case that is overwhelming with its brass, mother of pearl and rare veneers. There is only scant mention of a maker named Schriber. To further confuse matters, the second whee...

•Hello everyone, I have gotten basically everything on my player piano to work except for the 5-point wind motor. The cloth is stiff and will need recovering.

•Hello, How can one distinguish the difference between good, supple, airtight leather on a foot pump and leather that is dry, rotted, and leaks like crazy? I have heard that one can shine a light through the leather, and if there are tons of pinholes with light coming through, then the cloth is bad...

•Hello, I have an Autopiano divided stack in my player piano. Will the experimental stoppage of the last four pneumatics on each end render the stack more airtight than with 88 of them?
