Dear MMD,  Four years ago I purchased a Reproduco player piano/organ.
It is standard model serial #283125.  I realized from the beginning
that something was wrong with this instrument.  It had been newly
rebuilt and played reasonably well but it needed constant tweaking of
the transmission and tracking assembly to keep it playing.

After comments from several observers and some study it was determined
that the whole upper portion of this instrument had been replaced
with the parts from a non-Reproduco.  In other words, the spool box,
transmission, tracker pneumatic, air motor and everything above the
keyboard has been replaced.  The piano key board itself has had 25 keys
removed so that the length of all the piano keys from side to side
exactly match the length of the organ keys.

I would like to restore this piano to its original state, therefore
I'm looking for the whole upper assembly and a complete set of keys for
a Reproduco player piano/organ.  If anyone has one of these in storage
that will never be restored and are willing to sell off parts please
get in touch.

Thanks,
Tom Hutchinson
