Themodist Tempo Pointer
By Berley Firmin

When I acquired a Gotha Steck Themodist-Metrostle 65-88 upright some
years back, it was missing the pointer, the knurled nut that attaches
it, as well as the tiny wood knob in the glass door.  Also, the small
adapter chuck to extend the normal 65-note spool end drive to play
88-note rolls.  Imagine my surprise when I found _all_ of them inside
the piano wedged under the keys, in the stack, or under the pump!

I would suggest a thorough investigation of the piano before a missing
part is bought or made.
