Seek Ampico Motor Mounts & Drawer Tubing Array
By Bob Taylor

I need just a few parts to complete a project of refitting an
Ampico B mechanism back into a very nice 6' 2" Mason & Hamlin.
The metal brackets that support the rubber motor mounts are needed.
Actually, these same brackets are used in the Ampico A, so they are
not at all scarce.  These metal supports are "V" shaped and conform
to the shape of the rubber bushings used to isolate the motor sound
from the piano.

Additionally, I need the drawer tubing array that mounts to the
underside of the key bed.  This array is in two pieces, one for the
bass side and one for the treble.  The treble side is all 5/32" elbows
soldered into the mounting bracket.  The bass side has the 7/32" elbows
in addition to about fifty 5/32" elbows.

Those wishing to see what these parts look like can visit this web
page.  It has been put up to help identify the parts I seek:

Thanks,
