Seek Themodist Slide Valves & Pedal Exhausters
By Bruce Grimes

1. Seek Themodist slide/choke valve -- I am looking for the unit that
screws to the bottom of the keyboard on an Aeolian-built upright which
has two slide valves which are activated by levers in the key-slip, and
which gradually choke the vacuum of to either the treble or the bass
end of the stack. They are found in Themodist and pedal half Duo-Art
pianos.

2. Seek Aeolian pedal exhausters -- I would also like to find an early
exhauster-unit for an upright Aeolian-built piano with the pedals close
together.  The casting to which the pedals are connected will be about
14-7/8 inches to 15 inches long.
