1912 Weber Grand Pianola in Bergen, Norway
By Ola Andersson

Hi, I'm Ola Andersson and new to this list.  Thanks for letting me in.

In the shop were I work we have a Weber Grand Pianola, double legs,
from 1912, it says on the keys.  It's foot-pumped, 88 small holes,
about 65 long holes, a pin saying Metrostyle and one handle called
Themodist.  The tubes pass through the keys!  :-)

How do I get the action out?  Chainsaw?

This thing is for sale; it sounds okay for the age, needs regulation.
It's supposed to work but don't (which could be my fault); with 30 to
50 rolls.  What is it worth?

I would like to fix it but my boss wants me to do as little as possible
:-)  I hope it stays in the shop for a while so I can get it in order.

What is this?  How do I get the action out?  Is there good sources in
the MMD Archives?

Many thanks!
