A rebuilder I work with has in his shop for rebuilding a Steinway
XR, serial number 221330. The one player decal I saw says Aeolian.
The player stack (note pneumatics, push wires, valves, etc), some
of the control rods under the key bed, and the on-off pneumatic and
switch are all that is left of the player.
It appears that the piano has been in some very damp conditions so
the stack probably would not be too hard to get apart. If anyone is
interested make me an offer. The rebuilder is located in Champaign,
Illinois, so freight would be from there.
