Seek Themodist Expression Parts
By Mike Green

Hi,  I'm looking for a Themodist expression control box for my Aeolian
Pianola (UK, circa 1906 I believe) to return it to original condition.
The mounting screw locations are as follows:-

Back 2 mounts are 9-1/8" apart.
Front 2 mounts are 3" apart.
Keybed mounting bracket holes are 4 1/4" apart (front to back - width).
The front mounts are offset closer to the center of the piano.

I've tried to draw a picture below also.  Re-roll/Play/Silent and
Treble Soft/Loud levers connect on the right-hand side of the unit
(looking from the front of the piano), and the Bass Soft/Loud connect
to the left-hand side.

      |<--7"-->|
      --------------------------------------------
      |        |<--9 1/8"--->|
     -|        o             o
4 1/2"|                          <-----Re-Roll/Play/Silent
     -| Bass->      o      o     <-----Treble Loud/Soft
      |             |<-3"->|
      |
      |<--10 1/2"-->|

Where o = Keybed mounting bracket screw hole.

If anyone has one of these units that would fit my application lying
around and wants to give or sell it to me I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
