Leaking Pneumatics in Player Organ
By Eugene Rogers

Has anyone found that pneumatic leather leaks?  I read in any earlier
list about using thinned rubber cement.  What thinner was used and in
what proportions?  Was it brushed on or sprayed?

I can get the pneumatic to operate when the leader tab is just on the
take-up spool, with some tracker bar holes exposed.  Using toothpicks
I can block out the not wanted holes and get each pneumatic to operate,
but with the roll covering the holes, the same notes will not operate.
I am assuming this is due to leaking leather.  Anyone have any comments
on this problem??

Thanks for your time
