Hi MMD readers! It's a very great pleasure to communicate to this
musical community that my search since 1980 for an Ampico reproducing
piano gave positive results a few weeks ago. I found and purchased
a Chickering Ampico (upright), serial no. 143922, in very good condition,
but the electric motor is missing, so the pneumatic action doesn't work.
Maybe somebody can help me about the characteristics from the original
electric motor, to replace it with a new one. I would like to know
especially the motor RPM, input & output power, voltage, and the motor
pulley diameter; the original belt from the pump to the missing motor
is there.
Awaiting for good news,
Horacio Asborno from Viedma, Patagonia, Argentina
