Subject: Bush & Lane Player Action With Metal Valve Blocks
I
recently received a Bush & Lane player action to overhaul. It
is listed in the Player Piano top fifty as number forty. It
is the one described as "taking two persons to even lift it out of the
piano" -- sort of a double hernia model. Surprisingly, the metal
tubes and the die cast valve blocks and everything else that is die cast
are in good condition.
These
two photos show the player while still in the piano. The description
in the Player Piano catalog says they are common, but this is the first
Bush & Lane player I have seen in my pneumatic career.
