Regarding Rob Barker's search for help, I can offer advice by e-mail
and I sell materials (see www.musicanic.com) if you want to "Do It
Yourself". However, if you want someone to do work on your Pianola,
I don't know of a restorer in Lincolnshire, as such, but the following
might be able to help:-
Roger Waring - www.pianola.co.uk - Roger will do work in most areas of
the UK, and does a very high quality electric conversion.
Steve Dibble - www.pianolacare.co.uk - a bit closer, in Silverstone.
Cambridge Pianola Company - www.cambridgepianolacompany.co.uk -
(prize for the longest www name ?).
Or you could join the Player Piano Group - www.playerpianogroup.org.uk
- and try and get a copy of their members directory. There are a few
members in Lincolnshire, I think, but not all members are willing, or
capable, of restoring.
Contact me directly if I can help further.
