Introduction
By Hubert Kennedy

Hello, my name is Hubert, and I'm glad there is a MMD because maybe
someone can help.

I recently purchased a Sterling reproducing baby grand with an Auto
Del Luxe expression action.  I've rebuilt uprights with standard action,
etc.  I have the A. Reblitz book on how to rebuild player pianos and it
has been most helpful, although I cannot find out who made this player
action.

The action has all the expression mechanisms compact all in the pull
out drawer under the key board.  I've seen Ampico, Duo-Art and Welte-
Mignon but I don't know who made this one.

I'm in desperate need for a tubing blueprint in order to connect all
the hoses correctly.  I don't even know what type rolls are used.  I do
know that standard 88 can be used because they line up correctly and
the paper is standard width.

If someone could please help me get information and a tubing blue print
I would be most grateful.

Thanks
Hubert Kennedy

 [ Welcome to MMD, Hubert.  I think that our capable techs can help you, 
 [ but a description of the tracker bar would certainly identify the
 [ type of roll for the piano.  Could you tell us about the extra holes
 [ on both sides, outside of the playing-note region.  Are they all
 [ identical, or are some offset or taller?  Good luck!  -- Robbie
