Adding Electric Suction Pump to Player Piano
By Mike 'Fox' Morrey

Hello all.  Just curious as to what the thoughts on this might be,
in regards to anything that might arise (noise, value, etc.).

I have a 1915-1918 Aeolian player piano.  I've seen a couple places
that sell kits, where you can install a motor and 'electrify' your
piano.  Is this generally looked down on, or does it not even matter
that much (in ways of value of the piano, or adversely affecting any
components)?
