There was once a considerable automatic piano industry based in
Barcelona. The makers of the internationally-known "Victoria" rolls were
there and four or five player-piano makers. There must be a small number
of surviving employees who could help you or maybe some local industrial
archives.
I suggest you advertise there in a local newspaper, or make some
enquiries of Barcelona piano dealers who are on the Internet.
