Aeolian Stack Parts Needed
By Bill Sharkey

[In the 05.06.01 MMD Jeremy Murray said he needed to replace Aeolian
stack parts which he broke while disassembling the stack.]

Jeremy,

Is one of the pieces you need a thin black board that is 5" high and 54
1/4" long and which screws into the front of the pneumatic stack?  It
has an actuating lever on it that attaches to a rod on the left (as you
face it) and goes to the "Tempo" indicator.

In looking at my stack, it seems that the bottom pneumatic "shelf" with
the valves built into it, as you say, would be a fairly hard thing to
break.  But if this is what you need, I'd suggest replacing the entire
bottom-unit assembly of the two shelves and valves (not the top with the
air motor or the spool box attached to it, but everything under it).
That would be called the complete pneumatic assembly.

My best price to you for the assembly would be $140.00.  It would
include all the pneumatics, but they probably would need to be
recovered.  In fact some are coming loose from the "shelf."  You would
also probably need to do some valve work.  You would also need to pay
shipping, probably about $30.00 to $40.00.  I will find out exactly, if
you are interested.  Let me know what you decide.

Thanks,
Bill Sharkey
