Wertheim Pianola in Singapore
By David Row

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I accidentally saw this page and am wondering if you have ever heard
of or know of any source wherein I could get some information on the
Wertheim player piano made in Melbourne.  I have gone through all of
John Tuttle's pages and find no other Pianola similar to mine.

Some kind soul told me that my Pianola could be alike the Amphion or
the Standard in the Reblitz book but I checked it out and I failed.
I need help on how to start, particularly at identifying part names
and functions when I describe my problems.

I am only a Gramophone repairer and a do-it-yourself person, a rare
and dying breed in this part of the world, Singapore.  Though I know
the principle of operation is nearly the same, I am convinced that
to a beginner those subtle differences that exist between American
pianolas (I got the idea from John Tuttle) do make a world of
difference considering my status, aged 70, and complete amateur,
but with a desperate desire to do one thing right in my life.

Can you help?  Thanks.
