Ampico A Rewind & Power Off Tubing Connections
By Rodney Diehl

I fought the battle of reliable replay/shutoff on my Ampico "A".
I took the cowards way out and hooked to tracker hole B8.  Works great!

None of my rolls play this note (B, note #3).  How much of a sin is
this?  Do any Ampico recordings play this note?

Yes, I did the bleed bit, put in Player Piano Co.'s Teflon bearing,
checked stem for cracks, yada yada yada.
