-- forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD --
I am still living in hope that some-one is able to help me. I happen
to have a Brimsmead Pianola in a, by me, beautifully restaured teak
cabinet. I have replaced _all_ bellows material, felts, hammers and
you name it.
The problem, however, is that the pianola was incomplete when I got
it: piping missing, maybe even some bellows missing -- the last ones
I could easily cannibalize out of another pianola and modify for the
purpose.
Could you help me with a piping diagram? According an old catalogue
from Player Piano Co, Inc., in Wichita (don't know how I got hold of
that one), the action could be a Mason & Rich (Toronto).
There is a box with six connectors mounted on each "reservoir" bellows
next to the pedal bellows. Under the keybed are a few splitter boxes
and three or four expression buttons on the front.
Hope you can help me further. This project has cost me more than two
years now and I am in the final stage. That is, _if_ I can get the
piping right.
Thank you so much for your effort.
