Were the Seeburgs finished in the older style varnish or lacquer? Did they change with the times, using varnish as the primary finish... |

Troubleshooting Seeburg Model L Cabinet Piano
from Bruce Clark •I recall servicing a Seeburg L that now and then refused to play. The problem turned out to be the pouches in the stack. They shrank slightly and caused the stack valves not to seat properly. Once the valves had seated properly the Seeburg played nicely for a year or so, and then required another "... |

Troubleshooting Seeburg Model L Cabinet Piano
from Jeffrey R. Wood •Here in New England it is not uncommon for later (viz. most) Seeburg instruments to play weakly or quit altogether during the winter months. Cold air cannot hold much moisture, and this is the same air that circulates into buildings and is heated, causing wooden parts to dry out and shrink. The ret... |
