Rachals Electric Player Piano Co. of Hamburg
By Howard Leibowitz

Hi,  My name is Howard Leibowitz from New Brunswick, NJ.  I purchased
an old Victorian house (1910) with an old player piano that looks brand
new.  It is Rachals from Hamburg Germany, serial # 11990.  The case
looks hand-carved and it is very elegant.  The player mechanism is
electric and does not have sufficient vacuum to play.

How do I restore it?  I am looking for info on Rachals and company.
Anyone know anything?  Help.

Bye
