1950 Aeolian-American Keytop Piano Player
By Dave Bovell

I have acquired from an attic a 1950 Aeolian keytop player.  The unit
is complete, but non-functional.  The wood cases of both the power
unit and the player unit are in good condition, but need re-finishing.

I have little info on their history, other than that there less than
50 manufactured.  I would welcome any further info that is available,
or at least where to research more information.

If I can get sufficient knowledge, I will restore it and offer it for
sale.  I've been into restoration of just about everything since 1952
and am fascinated with this, as it's the first and only one I've come
across.  Any help for me out there?  Heeeelp!
