Seek 88-note Push-Up Player
By Pat DeWitt

Happy new year to all fellow MMDers!  As the new year came, I was
reminded of a long term quest that keeps surfacing in my thoughts.

I am looking for an 88-note (not 65-note or 65- to 88-note converted)
"push up" player.  This is the device that preceded the more common
self contained or "inner player" which we all know about.  This is
a piano roll player that sits in front of the piano with "fingers"
that press on the keys.

I will take one in any condition.  I hope that someone may know where
there may be one.

Thanks
Pat DeWitt

 [ How much are you willing to pay?  There are a few such machines
 [ in this world, but the owners must be convinced that you need the
 [ device more than they do.  Ten or fifteen ten years ago a completely
 [ restored 88-note Themodist/Metrostyle push-up player sold for
 [ $6,000, as I recall.  Yes, they are rare.  You might find one for
 [ sale in the UK.  -- Robbie
