Get Started Restoring Player Pianos
By D. L. Bullock
This is the most unusual eBay sale offering I have seen. It is simply
called "Player Piano - Restoration - Start Now" :

Pianos and material to supply your piano business or perfect
for persons that wants to start restoring player pianos.
... Toccoa, GA [near Atlanta]
Bidding is starting out at $100.00. If it was closer and I did not
have 200 players already, I might go for it. It looks like the price
will be right. I suspect the cloth will need replacement depending
upon how old it is.
The collection of tools and supplies sounds interesting but I have
purchased a few retired or deceased technician's tool collections and
I find usually I have to toss out the leather if it is ten or twenty
years old. Bellows cloth would also be suspect. Tools, books, and
what looks like a couple thousand $$ worth of stuff with five pianos
as well as a brand new low pressure spraying system.
There is a reserve but it started low.
