> I need help with a 20 year old Aeolian Sting player piano. On my first
> visit, the player would not shut off at the end of the roll. I found
> the shut off pneumatic to be leaking, so I recovered it. It now works
> fine. However, now when a roll is at the end, the paper gets to the
> reroll holes on the tracker bar and it starts to reroll, but immediately
> shuts off. If I push the motor switch again, it will reroll to the
> beginning just as normal and shut off.
>
> Adjusting the reroll brake at different settings doesn't seem to help,
> neither does altering the tracker bar position or takeup spool. There
> doesn't seem to be a gap in the paper when it starts to reroll. A new
> or old roll makes no difference.
>
> Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
