Wheelock/Aeolian 65 Note Player - Help Needed
By Jeff Davis

I started disassembling a Wheelock/Aeolian 65 note player yesterday.
This piano has the stack and bellows under the key bed. The spool box
and wind motor are on a board in the usuall position above the key bed,
with the tubing going through the keys ala Duo-Arts.

The problem I'm having is removing the stack. I unscrewed about a dozen
screws that go through the keybed from above, and a pair of screws on
each end of the stack that go through brackets. It still isn't loose,
I'm missing something somewhere. Anyone have any ideas? I really don't
want to remove the whole key bed, there must be an easier way.

Jeff Davis, Seattle
